Background
The City of Palm Desert's Community Gallery was established to showcase unique
artworks by local individuals and organizations. With each new Community Gallery
exhibition, the Public Art Division hosts a public reception for the featured artist(s). In order
to serve wine on City-owned property, the City Council must grant exemptions from Palm
Desert Municipal Code sections 9.58.010 and 9.58.020. Events are usually an hour and a
half in length with food and wine served throughout.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the exemptions from Palm Desert
Municipal Code sections 9.58.010 and 9.58.020.
