Program Objective:
To attract artists of the highest caliber to Joshua Tree National Park in order that they might enjoy the natural beauty and cultural richness of the park while producing a new body of work. In addition, each artist will be provided the opportunity to share with the public their approach to creating work. Finally, by mutual consent of both the artist and Park Stewardship through the Arts, each artist will donate one example of work produced at the park.

The Site:
Joshua Tree National Park is one of America's newest national parks, having been expanded and elevated to national park status by the Desert Protection Act of 1994. The 794.000 acre park embraces sweeping expanses of two America deserts-the Mojave and the Colorado. Soaring granite cliffs and spires, forests of alien-looking Joshua trees, a rich and ancient archeological record, and a varied assemblage of native desert wildlife are among the park's many features.
Length of Program:
Four weeks, January through May.
Living Accommodations:
Each artist is provided with a rustic cabin (see Lost Horse below) or trailer located within the park or along park boundaries. There is no stipend and artists are responsible for their own transportation.
Eligibility:
Program is intended for artists of the highest possible caliber. Visual artists and writers may apply.
