Description

The Art Foundation of Desert Hot Springs, CA is a new, 501(c)3 tax exempt, non-profit organization serving the creative community in this financial troubled yet rapidly growing, desert resort town with a high concentration of young families, many of whom live below the poverty line.

Despite the economic challenges, our city is home to some of the most talented people in the Coachella Valley. We have artists, musicians, dancers, writters, photographers who have been at the top of their fields, and students who could easily rise to the top if given the proper tools and access.

This is where we come in. The AFDHS is here to provide infrastructure and support for artists and creative people and give them the tools they need to revitalize our dilapidated and depressing surroundings.
