The second Saturday Art Crawl will be taking place in downtown Joshua Tree at various participating galleries and businesses, all showings free and open to the public.
The Beatnik Lounge presents The Ēkhṓ B&B Show, featuring the works of Brenda Littleton and Bruce Carleton facing each other across the gallery space. Ēkhṓ is the Ancient Greek root of our “echo,” and was also the name of the mountain nymph who had only the ability to reflect sounds back to their source. From the pre-echo of dreams connecting us with stimuli from the outer world, our expressions as artists, our work, our ekphrasis, lies on top of our own lived experiences like a reverberating echoplex effect. Opening at 6 PM.
La Matadora Gallery presents Defiled: Part 6, a group show featuring new works of altered thrift store art, in part of La Matadora’s 7-year anniversary celebration as well as the 8-year anniversary for their neighbors at the Beauty Bubble. Fake Band Names show in the front room with MTV videos and cake! 80s fashion encouraged. Opening reception from 6-9 PM.
Hey There Projects presents All for Everything, featuring Adam Shrewsbury and Melissa Monroe. Shrewsbury is a Michigan-based ceramicist influenced by ancient ceramics in its shape and modern contemporary culture on its surface, where themes of life and death are often found together. Monroe is a self-taught multi-disciplinary artist creating visions in textiles, sculpture, and acrylic paintings that place the viewer in places no one can remember, places that have not yet been, they act as puzzles leading to the future. Opening reception from 6-9 PM.
From 12 noon to 6 PM, Rock & Rapture Jewelry Gallery at the former Joshua Tree Art Gallery (JTAG) will be hosting “Tarot & Trunk Show,” featuring Rock Star Jeweler Alexandra Camacho of famed Acid Queen Jewelry. Tarot Reader Angela Izzo with her Mystical Creatures Tarot Decks, photography, and art reading from 5-8 PM.
