    A picture is worth a thousand words.

    With Joshua Tree’s artist-in-residence program, you too can explore all of the beauty the national park has to offer and express yourself on a canvas.

    Artists are welcomed for a four-week stay to focus on their own art and also collaborate with local school children to provide access to the arts.
