The Palm Springs Art Museum’s Artful Events series will continue Saturday with a Hollywood-themed fashion show fundraiser.

The event, which will celebrate style and creativity, will begin at 6 p.m. in the main museum, 101 Museum Drive, according to museum officials. It will be the second year for the fashion event at the museum.

“Metropolitan Fashion Week returns with creations to rival those in our galleries for an unforgettable night of fun and fashion as Palm Springs Art Museum struts high and haute-y,” museum officials wrote. “View fashion masterpieces from celebrity designers and mingle with designers and models at a cocktail after-party.”

Attendees can expect to see Las Vegas fashion designer David Tupaz, Couture Hats by Arturo Rios, Men’s and Women’s Pool and Resort wear by El Tuggle, Brazilian fashion designer Fernanda Pinheiro’s Puttin’ On the Ritz Capsule Collection, and a choreographed dance performance by Nickerson-Rossi Dance, museum officials said. The event will be hosted by KESQ News anchor Peter Daut and co-hosted by Jake Ingrassia.

Other fundraisers set to follow in the series are The Love Bite: An Irreverent New Comedy by Luke Yankee on March 10; Wine Tasting and Silent Auction on March 14; Staged Reading “Art”: by Yasmina Reza and Translated by Christopher Hampton on April 5; and a sold-out Coming Home to Eldorado on April 11.

The last three fundraisers scheduled are Dinner with Michelin Star Chef, Wine Music and Art on April 12; a Garden Cocktail Party at Frank Sinatra’s Twin Palms Estate on April 21; and a Coachella Valley Men’s Chorus on May 15.

More events, some of which will be in the museum while others are set to be at private residences, are expected to be added throughout the season, museum officials said. Proceeds will fund the museum’s exhibitions, programming and institutional maintenance.

The events began in October with a Miami Beach cocktail dress-themed Desert Art Salon at the home of Mark Pellegrino and Stuart Kent.
