WHAT'S HAPPENING

Morongo Basin Cultural Strategic Plan for Culture and Arts

JTLA was selected by a group of local arts leaders to guide the implementation of the Morongo Basin Strategic Plan for Culture and Arts.  JTLA will work in partnership with local arts organizations, government agencies, and businesses to achieve the plan’s established goals: 1) Expand cultural equity, 2) Build professional capacity for artists and organizations, 3) Grow arts education, and 4) Collaboratively market our cultural resources. This plan is a living document - a springboard for the Joshua Tree communities to begin addressing the needs of this growing arts and culture destination.

Art Projects @ Joshua Tree Music Festival

Live Painting --  Call for Artists:  JTLA is thrilled to present the Live Auction Painters @ JTMF twice a year.  If you are an artist and would like to showcase your work in front of over 2500 attendees of JTMF, please submit your application now.  We give priority to local artists, but we also love to bring in new artists from afar.  You paint live during the fest, we auction your piece and give you representation in  the JTLA Gallery space at the Fest.  Half the proceeds go to you, and half goes to JTLA arts programming in the Joshua Tree area.  Feed off the energy of the festival and interaction with the audience….out of the studio and into the mix of the festivities.   See past artists and more about painting at JTMF here.  Submit your application today: Apply!
