Borrego Art Institute
665 Palm Canyon Drive, Borrego Springs, CA 92004
The institute is a midcentury modern gem set in the heart of Borrego Springs. They host a wide variety of art-related workshops: painting, block printing, wood burning, photography, and pottery. (The pottery program covers both basic pottery and tile making.) And, of course, they sell stuff from a multitude of mediums: during the Summer Show and Sale (May 1–October 4), you’ll find paintings, photographs, and sculpture work in metal, clay, glass, and wood. Plus, consigned art from collectors. Purchased art may be removed at time of sale. Also, there is yoga Monday–Thursday, $10. Gallery is open Friday–Saturday, 2–6 p.m.; Sunday, 11 a.m.
