Palm Springs Artist Residency

The Palm Springs Artist Residency is a juried photography residency launched in 2026 by Palm Springs Preferred Small Hotels (PSPSH), the association of the city's boutique hotels, to build the first coordinated visual archive of Palm Springs' boutique hotel legacy. Selected artists receive complimentary lodging, a $250/week stipend, transportation reimbursement, attraction passes, mentorship from photographer Terry Hastings, and an end-of-season exhibition and sales showcase at the Palm Springs Cultural Center; one resident receives a $500 'Best of Residency' honorarium, and printing/framing/exhibition costs are covered by the organization. Traditional, documentary, architectural, fine art, experimental, multimedia, and AI-assisted practices are welcome.
