“Winter Skies” will be the theme for the winter Art in Public Places exhibition at the Twentynine Palms Visitor Center in downtown Twentynine Palms January, February, and March 2015. Area artists are invited to submit an original piece of art for possible inclusion in the group exhibition, and are asked to deliver their artwork to the visitor center on Friday, January 9, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Artists unable to make this time on in/out day are asked to make special delivery arrangements by calling the office at 760-367-3445 any weekday prior to January 9. Artwork should reflect the theme of winter skies in the desert. Media can include painting, watercolor, mixed media, photography, and three-dimensional work such as assemblage and sculpture. All work must be ready to mount or hang with professional wire, must be offered for sale, and should be suitable for viewing by the general public. The gallery at the Twentynine Palms Visitor Center is open daily at the corner of the highway and Desert Queen Avenue, downtown Twentynine Palms. An opening art reception is planned for Friday, January 16, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., with refreshments and music.
