When the Joshua Tree Highlands Artist Residency (JTHAR) started in 2007, founders Fredrick Fulmer and James Berg created an organization with the mission to award a wide-reaching community of artists the gift of time and space amidst the extraordinary natural beauty of Joshua Tree's desert landscape. As a result of their community-driven passion, JTHAR’s artists and visitors have increased their awareness of environmental and political issues confronting the Mojave community and enhanced the appreciation of the power of the arts to reveal the importance of preserving this unique landscape and its vulnerability to development.
We are so thankful for the SBMC recognizing JTHAR’s important work to engage emerging and seasoned artists in the Joshua Tree experience which allows for remarkable creativity as demonstrated in this upcoming exhibition. Museum Director, Melissa Russo shared, “The San Bernardino County Museum is proud to host this 15-year anniversary exhibition of the Joshua Tree Highlands Artist Residency (JTHAR). The museum has a long-standing relationship with artists and art organizations throughout our Southern California region, supporting vibrant and unique creative community through exhibitions and programs.”

James Kao is a Chicago-based artist who makes paintings and drawings. He will use his time at JTHAR to further his exploration of how the dialectic between nature and consciousness mirrors that between observation and representation. James will experience the landscape, wildlife and history to transform the figurative and abstract forms that now appear in his work by creating a new body of oil-based paintings.
