The second Saturday Art Crawl returns to Joshua Tree tonight (May 13) , with most of the area’s galleries holding openings for new exhibits. Art snob Jef Harmatz is here to tell you about tonight’s high desert art openings.
Art Queen is debuting a new solo show of work from Noel T. Hart, titled “Looking for Horizons.” Hart, a former architect, makes mixed media paitings of strange and alien landscapes that push design work beyond the rules of physics. The show opens tonight from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
La Matadora will be debuting a new show with low desert artists Gutterdoodles AKA Denny Pascasio and Shadow Boes by Lizette Chavez. They will be hosting an art party from 6 p.m to 9 p.m. featuring DJ La Cosmica of Noche Libre Collective
Hey There will be debuting drawings, sculpture, and wood cutouts and signs from returning artist Martha Rich in a solo show titled “All Heck Breaks Loose.” The exhibit will be open tonight from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Joshua Tree Art Gallery will be showing their exhibit, “Portraits of High Desert Icons” featuring Bobby Furst and more.
Pilates & Arts debuts a new show featuring mixed media work from Barbara Spiller titled “Walking on Sand.” Spiller will be conducting an informal art talk at 5 p.m. prior to the opening event which runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
All of these galleries are within walking distance so park at one and stroll to the rest of them.
