The Art Program at Copper Mountain College (CMC) is thrilled to announce its first campus Experimental Art Exhibition.
The outdoor artworks of ten Palm Springs Art Museum Artists Council members are featured during the months of April and May. Each of the unique outdoor works is a site-specific installation, with artists responding to selected campus locations through varied methods and media. Bells, birds, inspiring words, slabs of slate, rye seeds, and dancing figures, make this show a visual delight and conceptually engaging, while strolling across CMC’s beautiful desert campus. The public is invited to view the works any time the College campus is open.
Artists participating in the Artists Council Experimental Exhibition (ACEE) are Tammy Ashworth, Cathy Allen, Zach Fleming, Carole Hatcher, Melissae Lucia, Mike McLain, Jen Richards, Esther Shaw, Maryann Sutherland, and Ingrid Von Sydow.
A reception for the artists will be held at Bruce’s Place, on the campus, April 8, 2017 from 3 to 6 pm, and will feature CMC Art students hosting guided tours and refreshments. The reception is FREE and open to the public. This event is supported by the Cultural Education Committee and the CMC Foundation.

The goal of the Twentynine Palms Historical Society's Young Historian program is to encourage the youth of Twentynine Palms to become more familiar with our local history. Our area has been a crossroads and melting pot for many cultures throughout time. Exhibits and information at the Old Schoolhouse Museum touch on Native Americans, miners, cattlemen, early pioneer families, and the military. It is a wonderful launch point for young minds. The requirements for membership into Young Historians give children a well-rounded, fun lesson in that history. Accompanied by an adult, the prospective Young Historian will:
1. Complete the Hunting for History at the Old Schoolhouse Museum.
2. Complete the Mural Tour of Twentynine Palms and visit Veterans Park.
3. Visit the Joshua Tree National Park Visitor Center and walk the Oasis of Mara Nature Trail.
4. On the Old Schoolhouse grounds, walk the Frances Sabol Eco Trail, visit the Old Mining and Hastie Bus Exhibits and describe the Twentynine Palms Historical Society logo to the docent on staff. Once this mission is complete, each inductee will receive a commemorative T-shirt designating their new status as a Young Historian. The program currently focuses on students in grades 3 through 6. Young Historian brochures may be picked up at the museum or downloaded from our Young Historian
webpage.

The 2017 Desert Chic Social is just 3 weeks away!
The Twentynine Palms Historical Society, in partnership with the Broadview Hacienda, is inviting members and non-members to our Desert Chic Social. Experience the beauty of this historic Twentynine Palms home while you enjoy the camaraderie of old and new friends; have a nibble, a tasty treat, and a cool drink; relax and soak in the view from Broadview, the historic residence of pioneers Bill and Prudie Underhill. There will also be a silent auction of treasures you won't be able to resist.
This event is to raise funds to help us continue to preserve our local history and culture and to help keep the doors of the Old Schoolhouse Museum open. Tickets are available for a minimum donation of $25 for Society members and $30 for non-members. This is a minimum and larger donations will be greatly appreciated. Pre-sale tickets are available at the Old Schoolhouse Museum, 6760 National Park Dr., 29 Palms. Tickets will also be available at the door.
Mike and Ann Congdon have graciously opened Broadview for this event. Broadview is the historic residence of Bill and Prudie Underhill, Twentynine Palms pioneers. Bill homesteaded here in 1928, and established the local newspaper (The Desert Trail, which is still published every Thursday), the first roller rink, and indoor and outdoor theaters. He always championed the health and vitality of the high desert, its people, and its glorious climate. The peace and serenity of this beautiful hacienda wraps around you the moment you cross the threshold. Situated on a high promontory in the old residential center of the city, the 360 degree view of the beautiful desert adds to Broadview's allure. It's a wonderful place to relax and the perfect venue for our fun event.
So, what do I wear? Anything from Desert Casual to the Nines (2 - 9's, get it?) You are encouraged to come in denim and cotton, sequins and satin, Hawaiian attire, costume of choice or uniform of the day. In other words, come as you are or how you wish to be. The only "must" besides a thoughtful and planned clothing choice is to have fun.
Date: Saturday, 8 April 2017
Time: 4:30 to 7:30 pm
Location: Broadview Hacienda, 73452 Sunnyslope Drive, Twentynine Palms

Our Guild Members are the lifeblood of the 29 Palms Art Gallery. This all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)3 Guild was started by eight artists in 1951-2, the permanent Gallery space was opened in 1963, and it continues to be operated and supported by Guild Members today.
Our valued Guild Member Artists are invited each year to a group exhibition that fills the Gallery space for a judged exhibition. This year's judge, Terry Taylor-Castillo (owner, Taylor Junction Gallery in Joshua Tree), will be challenged to pick only a select few pieces of artwork for the cash awards since the quality of art throughout this exhibition is so impressive.
Join us for the Awards Reception on Sunday, March 5, 1 to 3 pm. | see flyer for details
