Welcome to the fourth edition of Desert X in the Coachella Valley. 

Desert X is held entirely outdoors, offering a free and safe experience for all. Artists' installations are on view daily from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise noted. Check desertx.org to learn more about the artists and for opening hours.

Curated by Artistic Director Neville Wakefield and Co-Curator Diana Campbell, the exhibition activates the desert landscape through twelve new commissions by artists from Europe, North America and South Asia, whose poetic and immersive works span sculpture, painting, photography, writing, architecture, design, film, music, performance and choreography, education, and environmental activism.

Open Fridays 1:30 – 5:00 pm, Sat – Sun 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Pick up a printed program and meet our friendly volunteers who will help you plan your visit and provide information about the exhibition.

On March 4, 2023 the Desert X app will be launched and will be free to download at the Apple or Google Play app stores.

Maps and programs will be available on the Desert X website and at the Desert X Hub at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. All maps and programs are released on the opening of the exhibition on March 4, 2023 on the website and at the Desert X Hub.

Trained Desert X docents are available at most sites every Saturday between March 4 and May 7, from 10 am to noon. Docents are eager to share their knowledge about artists and the stories behind each Desert X installation.

Desert X is an exhibition conceptualized as a self-guided outdoor experience where you determine the start and end point of your journey. You can make a day of it to visit each site or visit as many sites as you choose – it’s all up to you. For Desert X diehards, you may notice some minor changes from one year to another, but never fear, the experience will be just as inspiring and exhilarating! Below is some information that may answer many of your questions while planning your trip. Learn more about Desert X here.

Visiting hours for the installations are usually sunrise to sunset Monday through Sunday, unless otherwise noted.

We encourage you to plan your own self-guided tour of the exhibition. Guided tours for small private and corporate groups are available and require a donation to Desert X. There is limited availability and COVID-19 safety guidelines are enforced. More information on VIP experiences is available here.

Palm Springs is a place like no other when it comes to Drag. Between our numerous gay bars, LGBTQ+-owned restaurants, and fabulous other venues, it is a rare moment when you can’t see hair heels and attitude in our desert oasis. 

Luckily Palm Springs is host to a growing number of drag shows, and people are packing them because what could signal normal better than a bunch of clowns in dresses. These shows are open and inviting to everyone, although the clientele does tend to slant gay (you are still in Palm Springs, after all). Drag shows can be enjoyed by anyone looking to have a great time, grandparents, bachelorettes, straight boys, or lesbians. Make sure you tip the performers (Drag isn’t cheap) and be respectful; these are queer spaces where our community can come together. Happily, most drag queens now accept Venmo, so not having any dollar bills on you is no excuse.

Cheeky Charity's mission is 100% focused on enabling the early detection of colorectal cancer. More specifically, we are committed to:

Initiative One:

• Grow a social movement
• We aim to register 10,000 ambassadors to reach 1 million people. This exposure will help us influence 100’s of individuals to make appointments for colorectal screenings.

Initiative Two:

• Assist those who can’t afford to get screened
• With your donations, we'll subsidize 100 screenings for those who need to get their butts over a financial hurdle.

Initiative Three:

• Support innovative early detection research programs
• The sooner someone is diagnosed with colon cancer, the better. That's why part of your donations will go towards a grant for organizations innovating early-detection methods.

Open Fridays 1:30 – 5:00 pm, Sat – Sun 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Pick up a printed program and meet our friendly volunteers who will help you plan your visit and provide information about the exhibition.

On March 4, 2023 the Desert X app will be launched and will be free to download at the Apple or Google Play app stores.

Maps and programs will be available on the Desert X website and at the Desert X Hub at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. All maps and programs are released on the opening of the exhibition on March 4, 2023 on the website and at the Desert X Hub.

Trained Desert X docents are available at most sites every Saturday between March 4 and May 7, from 10 am to noon. Docents are eager to share their knowledge about artists and the stories behind each Desert X installation.

Desert X is an exhibition conceptualized as a self-guided outdoor experience where you determine the start and end point of your journey. You can make a day of it to visit each site or visit as many sites as you choose – it’s all up to you. For Desert X diehards, you may notice some minor changes from one year to another, but never fear, the experience will be just as inspiring and exhilarating! Below is some information that may answer many of your questions while planning your trip. Learn more about Desert X here.

Visiting hours for the installations are usually sunrise to sunset Monday through Sunday, unless otherwise noted.

We encourage you to plan your own self-guided tour of the exhibition. Guided tours for small private and corporate groups are available and require a donation to Desert X. There is limited availability and COVID-19 safety guidelines are enforced. More information on VIP experiences is available here.

Palm Springs is a place like no other when it comes to Drag. Between our numerous gay bars, LGBTQ+-owned restaurants, and fabulous other venues, it is a rare moment when you can’t see hair heels and attitude in our desert oasis. 

Luckily Palm Springs is host to a growing number of drag shows, and people are packing them because what could signal normal better than a bunch of clowns in dresses. These shows are open and inviting to everyone, although the clientele does tend to slant gay (you are still in Palm Springs, after all). Drag shows can be enjoyed by anyone looking to have a great time, grandparents, bachelorettes, straight boys, or lesbians. Make sure you tip the performers (Drag isn’t cheap) and be respectful; these are queer spaces where our community can come together. Happily, most drag queens now accept Venmo, so not having any dollar bills on you is no excuse.

Toucans Tiki Lounge - Playhouse! / 9 p

Palm Springs is a place like no other when it comes to Drag. Between our numerous gay bars, LGBTQ+-owned restaurants, and fabulous other venues, it is a rare moment when you can’t see hair heels and attitude in our desert oasis. 

Luckily Palm Springs is host to a growing number of drag shows, and people are packing them because what could signal normal better than a bunch of clowns in dresses. These shows are open and inviting to everyone, although the clientele does tend to slant gay (you are still in Palm Springs, after all). Drag shows can be enjoyed by anyone looking to have a great time, grandparents, bachelorettes, straight boys, or lesbians. Make sure you tip the performers (Drag isn’t cheap) and be respectful; these are queer spaces where our community can come together. Happily, most drag queens now accept Venmo, so not having any dollar bills on you is no excuse.
