The second Saturday Joshua Tree Art Crawl will be happening tonight (May 10) featuring opening receptions for participating galleries in downtown Joshua Tree.
Coyote Little, located in the Art Queen complex, will feature visual art by Kat Johnson and Dianne Bennett and music by Palo Xanto and Sweetbeast from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. with treats by Galaxy Pies.
Los Angeles native and hi-desert figure Kat Johnson creates assemblages from found objects described as “poetry in a box,” skillfully combining natural items with antique finds and unique oddities to express her captivating vision, exploring themes of parlor magic and romance for this exhibition.
Dianne Bennett got her start in the 80s and 90s as a nationally published advertising and editorial illustrator. Today she creates art using found objects, with depictions and reflections showcased on salvaged treasures and discarded materials. Her expressions often focus on birds and other flora and fauna navigating the cosmic corners and unusual angles of nature.
While owner/curator Colleena Hake is on hiatus, La Matadora gallery will host a pop-up shop by Catherine Abston’s Kintsugi Crow, who will transform the gallery with her jewelry, leatherwork, and vintage items through the month of May. Open from noon to 5:00 p.m.
