Support JTHAR
Hello friends,
As we speed toward the waning days of 2019, we’d like to share some of this year's highlights, a glimpse into some projects in the works for 2020, and ask for your continued support.
Joshua Tree Highlands Artist Residency (JTHAR) is committed to reaching and supporting diverse artists from all over the globe. With your invaluable help, we are supporting more artists annually, giving them the space and resources they need to create, while simultaneously aiming a spotlight on the vibrant Joshua Tree art scene. And the word is spreading: this year, the residency was profiled in print and television in the US and beyond.
As we end of the year, we ask you to consider a generous tax-deductible gift in support of JTHAR, our artists, and the arts in Joshua Tree. Your involvement will allow us to mark 2020 as the beginning of construction for a dedicated gallery space at the residency property. The gallery will provide a permanent space to showcase our artists in residence, as well as offer educational exhibitions to the community at large. See below for more details on how JTHAR supports the arts and creativity – in Joshua Tree and beyond!
Thank you in advance for your attention and support,
Sincerely,
Frederick and James
Founders, JTHAR
Board Members – Steve & Ruth Rieman, Timothy & Judy Hearsum
Advisory Board Members – Barbara Gothard, Adam Gross, Alma Ruiz

2019 – THE YEAR IN REVIEW
In spring, our seven-week group residency brought together incredibly diverse and talented artists:All these artists collectively wowed the community at their June exhibition at the Joshua Tree Art Gallery.
Many of you got to know our six-week solo artists at their Open Studio Shows, including: And please help us welcome our upcoming six-week solo artists: Newly created this year is the Alma Ruiz Artist Fellowship, which awards a JTHAR position to a Latin American and U.S. Latinx artist of exceptional ability in the visual arts. Each year, Alma Ruiz, JTHAR advisor and former senior curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA, Los Angeles) will choose a deserving recipient from the U.S. or abroad.
We were particularly pleased to be included in Piney Wood Atlas, a collaborative project cataloguing small, emerging and unconventional artist residencies across the United States. The guide, created by and for artists, profiled JTHAR and interviewed some of our previous artists.
In April, we hosted the Cultivist, a global arts club from Los Angeles, who enjoyed a private showing and talk with JTHAR returning artist, Greg Minah.
In October, TV GLOBO, a Brazilian television network, profiled JTHAR and our recent artists in their upcoming documentary addressing the nature, spirituality and artistic side of Joshua Tree National Park.
Our busy year was further highlighted by visits from some of our former artists in residence:
Your contribution today will provide the highly valued resources of time, space, financial support, community and validation for the local, national, and international artists JTHAR supports each year – and helps us share their processes with hundreds of annual visitors. We invite you to help us continue to make art happen in Joshua Tree and across the globe by joining our family of supporters.
You can even support JTHAR simply during your Amazon shopping. Simply go to smile.amazon.com and select JOSHUA TREE HIGHLANDS ARTIST RESIDENCY as the charitable organization. Your account numbers, shopping cart, and other account settings stay the same. The only difference is that The Amazon Smile foundation donates 0.5% of the eligible purchase price to JTHAR!
