The 2nd Saturday Joshua Tree Art Crawl will be happening tonight at various Joshua Tree art galleries, all free and with refreshments.
Art Queen Gallery presents Circumstance, a new exhibition of emotionally driven, figurative works by Esther Shaw. Shaw is a 20-year Yucca Valley artist, whose latest works are her own process of working figurative images into places of everyday encounters with others. Often, these paintings are focused on social issues as in her Sleeping Baby Series, which is concerned with the immigrant experience, and attempts to draw attention to some of the human realities of immigration. Opening reception is from 6-8PM
Art Queen East Gallery is located behind Sun Alley Shop in Joshua Tree.
At Hey There Projects, it’s the opening reception for It’s Alright, a group show featuring artists Wyatt Hersey, Heidi Anderson, and Michelle Valigura. The trio’s work reflects a reverence for the natural world with whimsy and modern clarity. Opening reception from 6-9PM
La Matadora presents Cover to Cover: Compositions of Recycled Books by artist Carmen Alvarez-Tostado and in the back room, Defiled: Part Cinco, A Group Show of Altered Thrift Store Art. Featuring a DJ set of cover songs by Uncle Abe. Opening reception from 6-9PM.
And finally, Rock and Rapture jewelry, art, and music boutique will be taking over JTAG with an opening reception for iconic L.A. punk rock photographer Ruby Ray from 10 AM to 5 PM. Along with Ray’s signed and numbered limited edition prints, her photo book Kalifornia Kool will be for sale.
