Strategic Plan
The activities of PSAM help to create a better community for residents and visitors to
Palm Desert. This concept is in line with the Arts & Culture Mini-Vision which states:
"Arts and culture give a community its soul. Palm Desert is the cultural core of the
Coachella Valley. Cultural tourism drives economic growth in Palm Desert. The
community is host to internationally recognized cultural events that bring significant
economic benefits to the City. Palm Desert is a leader in arts education, ensuring a well-
rounded population that possesses high levels of creativity and critical thinking skills."

Background
The Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert (PSAM) continues to be a strong partner
with First Weekend and annually occurring special events. Below is a brief description of
the character of each event being proposed at PSAM:
1. First Weekend: PSAM has had success with hosting First Friday events which
include live music, catered food, and beer and wine offerings. The sculpture
garden and Carriage Lane lend themselves well to outdoor functions and the
PSAM expects approximately 300-400 attendees at each event. Events are held
once monthly on the first Friday of each month November through May.
2. Annually Occurring Special Events: PSAM annually hosts the Meet the Galen,
Fashion Week After Party/Museum Fundraiser, Helene Galen's Street Party, and
Earth Day events which also include live music, catered food, and beer and wine
offerings. As with First Fridays, these events are held in the sculpture gardens,
and along Carriage Lane.
PSAM would like to have the option to serve alcohol at these events. PSAM will adhere
to all requirements of the Alcohol and Beverage Control and will apply for all related
permits.
In addition to the regularly scheduled events, staff would like to have the ability for
approval up to five (5) additional events that would include serving alcohol. These events
would be subject to final approval by the City Manager and are not intended to interfere
with normal operations at PSAM. Having a reserve of flexible event waivers would assist
staff in managing operations with PSAM.
Staff will work with PSAM to ensure that they will have liquor liability on their insurance
policy prior to the commencement of any event.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact to the City related to staff's recommendation.
