JTNP
Council for the Arts
More than 3 million visitors from around the globe are drawn each year to Joshua Tree National Park for its majestic views, monolithic rock formations, bizarre flora, and abundant wildlife. A veritable wonderland of solitude, spectacle, and cultural inspiration, the park has influenced thousands of artists to make the pilgrimage for independent residencies, brief visits, or even long-term moves to the desert. The annual JTNP Art Expo aims to celebrate the park and encourage its visitors to appreciate, protect and preserve its rare and remarkable namesake.
