"The wall of natural boulders in my lodgings set the tone: Outside under the big sky is where I’d find my new work. Surrounded by empty land outside my door, near the entrance of the National Park, I was perfectly positioned to explore the landscape." 

~ Irene Imfeld, photographer (2015)

As part of the residency program, each artist is invited to live in one of fives homes that are nestled on 5 acres surrounded by the panoramic mountain views. Adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, where the Sonoran and Mojave deserts meet, each home provides quiet seclusion. 

​The region, know for its strange Joshua Trees and giant rock formations called Inselbergs, is a land of surprising variety and complexity; it is a land of extreme fragility. To the close observer, a tiny flower bud or the lizard's frantic dash reveals this desert as a place of beauty and life.

In addition to the residency program, JTHAR also rents out each house/studio in this inimitable environment to artists needing a quite space to envision their new projects or complete projects. Weekly and monthly rentals.are available throughout the year to artists, who are want to unleash the creative spirit.

​Please contact us if you are interested in renting a property for your own artistic endeavors, pursuits and creativity. Monies received from these rentals goes directly into our funding to support the residency program.
