Members Only: Visit to IVDM
SDAC Members, join us for an open house, behind-the-scenes tour, and reception at the Imperial Valley Desert Museum. Members are invited to go behind the scenes with IVDM Staff to learn about their exhibits, curation and collection spaces encompassing 10 million years of regional and local history! Following morning tours, SDAC Members are welcome to join IVDM Executive Director Kristin O'Lear and SDAC Executive Director Stephanie Sandoval for wine and hors d'oeurves. Under IVDM's awning overlooking the beautiful Yuha Desert, they will discuss their organizations' mission, current work, and future projects! Please note: This event is open to current SDAC members only. If your membership has lapsed, you will be asked to renew in order to attend the event. Date: Saturday, October 14, 2023 Times: Museum Open House - 10 AM to 2 PM Behind-the-Scenes Tour - 10:30 AM & 11:30 AM Reception with Museum Directors - 12:30 PM Location: Imperial Valley Desert Museum 11 Frontage Road, Ocotillo, CA 92259 Cost: Free About the Imperial Valley Desert Museum The Imperial Valley Desert Museum is a new facility in the heart of the Yuha Desert housing Indigenous and historic artifacts found within the Imperial Valley and surrounding region. Opening a new museum in the twenty-first century, we do not want to be seen as an exhibit within four walls, but to engage and interact outside of the limitations of the "box" – both metaphorically and physically.
