Artist In Residence
Our Partners: FWB (Friends With Benefits) & Superchief
This season’s artist residencies in Palm Springs are presented by co-curators Friends With Benefits, or FWB, and Superchief. FWB is a new cultural institution growing the adoption of emerging technology in pursuit of a better internet. Superchief is an international gallery exploring untapped possibilities for the NFT as an artist’s tool. Their curation shines a light on three artists who capture the surreal psychedelia of LA’s desert milieu, and one more to be selected via open call and voted on by the FWB community.
