Palm Springs Art Museum to reopen on April 1
Art lovers rejoice. The Palm Springs Art Museum is reopening on April 1 after a year-long shutdown due to COVID-19.
The museum will be open Thursday to Sunday through the summer, said Scott Slaven, director of marketing, communications and design.
Operating hours will be 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday through Sunday. The museum will continue offering free admission on Thursday nights from 5 to 7 p.m.
The museum s restaurant, Persimmon Bistro, is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday.
Slaven said the museum is waiting until April 1 to reopen so they can rehire staff who were furloughed and laid off, or recruit new employees.
Palm Springs Art Museum Board of Trustees Executive Chair Steve Maloney passed away Tuesday night, museum spokesperson Scott Slaven said Thursday.
Maloney, a contemporary artist with exhibitions throughout the United States and Switzerland, was 78. He was a member of the museum s board since 2007 and elected as chair in February 2018.
Palm Springs Art Museum officials described Maloney as a visionary leader, devoted husband and father, and a good friend to so many, in a prepared statement. He was extraordinarily passionate about Palm Springs Art Museum, museum officials said. At the core of his efforts was a determination to serve as a guiding force in maximizing the benefits the museum could bring to the community and to its visitors.

Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2021 on a 60,000-plus sq. ft. National Guard readiness center at Chennault International Airport.
The $24 million Lake Charles Readiness Center will be the future home of multiple Louisiana National Guard (LANG) units who experienced damage to their armory during Hurricane Laura. The plans for the new readiness center began before the storm barreled through southwest Louisiana last August, devastating large parts of Lake Charles and its airport.
