JT Art Expo in 29 Palms

9/9/2018

Looking forward to my first event in the desert as an artist, next weekend! I will be showing our Hill&Stump series--we've painted new desert plants specifically for this show. I may also throw in a few new experiments I'm starting with materials found on the Dairy.
Just a little worried about setting up the tent and walls in this place that can be so windy. Not to mention the heat... hoping for under 100 next weekend.
Below are the paintings already up in the Dairy, under the new orange wall.

Ok, here's the postscript:

The show was small and sweet, only about 30 artists. Almost everyone who came stopped at each booth and chatted, super nice. But it was just too damn hot for an art fair, people can't concentrate when they are so consumed with sweating and drinking water/beer. I asked why the Inn didn't move it later in the year, and the answer is... weddings in the oasis. More valuable than art, I get that.

The other takeaway is that the art community of the 29 Palms Guild is, let's say, conservative. Like perhaps not even in the 20th century: no abstraction, and don't even mention conceptual/performance/social/new media... Got it!

Just curious. The poster says 58 artists. What happened?

That was the show in the gallery, which I applied to but didn’t get into. Not every artist in the show did the fair.

    Anna does most of the writing. Ted does most of the photos. But sometimes we switch. We are repairing a distressed property in 29 Palms, California, and eventually hope to run an artist residency there.
