"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.
