Summer Show June 1 to August 26 ~ Art Reception Sunday, June 3
This Sunday, June 3, from noon until 3 p.m., the 29 Palms Art Gallery will host its final reception of the season with the “Summer Show” at its historic adobe. The members of the 29 Palms Artists' Guild will have work featured in all three gallery rooms. Works include traditional and experimental watercolor, acrylic and oil paintings, pottery and kiln fired ceramics of a variety of techniques, mixed media, assemblages, photography and digital montage, wood block prints, and a variety of printmaking genres as well as sculptures; all from local artists. The show will be on display through August 26.
Also, summer hours are now in effect at the gallery and gift shop from June 1 through August 26, 2012—open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from 12 noon until 3 p.m.
For the reception on June 3, artists will be on hand to discuss their work and the 29 Palms Artists’ Guild will present the new Board of Directors for the 2012-2013 season. A new gallery schedule and class listings will be issued over the summer. The new schedule will include shows by Simi Dabah, whose work is on permanent display on the gallery grounds, as well as Kathi Hilton, daughter of one of the prominent forces that founded the Artists' Guild.
The current schedule lists all Guild-related events for the public through the close of the season in August, while the new board plans activities for the upcoming year. This is a great time to join the Artists' Guild and become familiar with the gallery before the new season kicks into full swing during the active and fast approaching fall line-up for our area’s busiest time of the year. The gift shop and gallery have a multitude of home decor items, artisan and Native American jewelry, outdoor art, and outerwear. The gift shop also features oil painting landscape prints by one of the Guild's founders, John W. Hilton, as well as cards of flowers in watercolor by renowned past member Henry R. Mockel.
The gallery and gift shop are located at 74055 Cottonwood Drive in Twentynine Palms off of National Park Drive (that leads into the Joshua Tree National Park), or you can contact the gallery during business hours at 760-367-7819.
