UNBRIDLED SPIRIT: CELEBRATING 35 YEARS OF LEATHER IN PALM SPRINGS
The exhibit will be on view from Thursday October 30 through Sunday, November 2, 2025, at the Hotel Zoso, and is being held in conjunction with Leather Pride 2025, the 60th Anniversary of the International Imperial Court System, and Halloween on Arenas Road.
Being curated by Mike Király, MPA, Adjunct Faculty, Social Sciences, Santa Rosa Junior College, and Vice President of the Palm Springs Leather Order of the Desert, the exhibit will explore the significant impact of the leather community on the cultural and social landscape of the Coachella Valley over the past 35 years.

An often overlooked and sometimes hidden aspect of the general LGBT community, it is the goal of this exhibition to bring to the fore how the leather community has helped shape and often fight for gay liberation and rights locally.

In addition the Archives will also be presenting a FREE program entitled, ‘Leather Women: Celebrating Our Sexuality,’ on Thursday, October 30, at 6:30 pm.
