Studio/gallery specializing in gay art & photos

Swank Modern Design hosts regular exhibitions of (mostly) gay American and international painters and photographers in a classic 1950s Palm Springs modernist house. They are the only gallery in Palm Springs specializing in male nude fine art. Open by appointment (call), or during public viewings (check their website for schedules), they are closed during the summer. They also offer a variety of vintage mid-century modern plus 60s and 70s pop decor and furnishings for sale.
