MEMBERSHIP | DONATIONS | ART CLASSES | EVENTS
The Twentynine Palms Art Gallery is a landmark in the City of Twentynine Palms. Gallery hours are 11-3, Friday – Sunday. We’re located at 74055 Cottonwood Drive at National Park Drive in 29 Palms and just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. Exhibitions change monthly, with an opening reception on the first Saturday of each month, 4-6 PM (5-7 in July and August). As a non-profit, the gallery operates solely by volunteers, and financially supported through membership, donations, grants, and the sale of artwork and gift items offered in the Gift Shop. It is owned and operated by the Twentynine Palms Artists’ Guild, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization founded in 1951-52. Today, the Gallery features monthly art exhibitions, adult and youth art education, juried exhibitions, artist receptions, two annual art fairs, fund-raising events, and each November, hosts the Joshua Tree National Park Art Expo, organized by the Joshua Tree National Park Council for the Arts. Our annual Holiday Art Market is Saturday, Nov. 30th, 9-3 and accepting registrations now. Our Gift Shop offers fine Southwestern jewelry, gift items, and featured local artwork and crafts by our Guild Members. When visiting Joshua Tree National Park, stop in to see the current exhibition of featured artists and artist guild members. See our current event schedule and plan your visit.
