“Cold Days, Warm Hearts” is the theme for the winter Art in Public Places exhibition at Twentynine Palms Visitor Center & Art Gallery in downtown Twentynine Palms. Managing editor Tami Roleff says artists are invited to bring in art for the exhibition…
“Cold Days, Warm Hearts” focuses on winter weather and wintertime moods in the Mojave Desert. Artists are encouraged to bring in a painting, drawing, photograph, mixed media, mosaics, ceramics, assemblage, fiber art, or sculpture for inclusion in the show. Artwork must be delivered between 11 and 1 p.m. Friday, January 3, or be previous arrangement. An opening reception is set for Saturday, January 4, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. as part of the Twentynine Palms monthly art crawl, Art Cruise 29! The show will be on display from January 4 through March 27, 2020.
In addition to the exhibition, Art In Public Places will spotlight Mural #7 – The Dirty Sock Camp by artist John Whytock (1996) this winter. The mural features Bill McHaney and gold prospectors in Joshua Tree National Park in the late 1800s, in a camp named after the method miners sometimes used to separate gold from mercury if no other material was available.
The 29 Palms Visitor Center is located at the corner of Highway 62 and Desert Queen Avenue in downtown Twentynine Palms.
