Tonight is the second Saturday of December which means downtown Joshua Tree’s galleries will open as usual for their monthly art crawl and in addition to the usual slate of art galleries dotting downtown Joshua Tree, several new galleries will open their doors for the first time tonight.
Three new galleries open in the Art Queen complex, behind La Matadora and next to the Sun Alley Shops.
Alvarez Studio, the working studio and gallery of Joe and Erin Alvarez, will be open from 11:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m.
Lorenzo, a curated collection of treasures from long-time desert resident Flora, will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
And the Alien Robot Museum will have their grand opening from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
La Matadora will be debuting a new group show of functional artwork, featuring tools, devices, and other objects from more than 30 local artists.
Hey There Projects debuts a new show titled “Atlis Montibus” featuring work from artists Anthony Hurd, Travis Weller, and Abel Macias. There will be an opening reception from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
And the Beatnik Lounge is hosting what they are calling a “free range poetry reading” starting at 6:00 p.m.
All these galleries are in the downtown Joshua Tree area, so you can park at one and walk to the rest.
