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.
