The Mil-Tree organization aims to help transform the wounds of war through art and dialogue. Reporter Mike Lipsitz brings us this story about how an upcoming exhibition seeks art that fulfills that aim…
“Listening to the Desert: Military Musings” is the theme of an upcoming exhibition at the Twentynine Palms Visitor Center Art Gallery and Chamber of Commerce on the highway in Twentynine Palms. Desert artists are invited to submit an original work to be considered for inclusion in the exhibit. Offered by Art in Public Places with the Mil-Tree organization, the exhibit runs from January 5 through March 29. The deadline for submissions is January 4.
The “Listening to the Desert” theme may be expressed in virtually any two- or three-dimensional media. Outdoor works are also encouraged. All submissions must be ready to hang or mount on a pedestal, must be offered for sale, and must be suitable for viewing by the general public. For questions or more information, contact Public Art Advisory Committee liaison Jon Beard at 760-367-7562 or email [email protected].
