DesertX 2025 Launches March 8 in Coachella Valley

DesertX 2025, running from March 8 to May 11 in the Coachella Valley, showcases site-specific installations from 11 diverse artists, including notable figures such as Agnes Denes and Sara Meyohas. Founded by Susan Davis, this year's event is co-curated by Neville Wakefield and Kaitlin Garcia-Maestas, with corporate sponsorship from Jose Cuervo’s 1800 Tequila. Highlights include Alison Saar’s 'Soul Service Station,' which engages local schoolchildren in art-making, reflecting the festival's community focus. As the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival approaches, attendees are reminded to prepare for the desert conditions, including sun protection and hydration, with various packing guides available. Festival ticket and camping options are becoming limited as the event date nears, with many camping choices already sold out. Overall, both DesertX and Coachella emphasize art, community engagement, and the vibrant culture of the Coachella Valley.
