Welcome to Chaparral Artists

We are an art organization in the Morongo Basin that exists to support artists. Chaparral Artists started as a group of friends that wanted to assist the local theater, later separating into the Chaparral Artists organization. In 2013 we were granted 501(c)3 status with a strong goal of supporting art culture and providing youth art opportunities in the area.

Our NEXT Chaparral Meeting

February 9, at the Joshua Tree Community Center

Let’s keep gathering together with are questions and art announcements in mind! We will enjoy a couple hours together as we share the latest organization paperwork (calendar, exhibit printouts, exhibit schedules, meeting schedules, etc.) ALL visitors interested in finding out more about the group are welcome to attend any of our general and quarterly meetings!

Our NEXT Chaparral Exhibit Reception

“MONOCHROME” at Rainbow Stew

Monochrome explores the power of a single color palette to create impact, mood, and depth. This theme invites artists to work within one color or tonal range, focusing on value, contrast, texture, and composition. By limiting color choices, artists can amplify emotion and form while highlighting subtle variations and nuance. From bold statements to quiet studies, Monochrome celebrates simplicity, restraint, and expressive possibility. All mediums are welcome.
Intake dates
Thursday, February 12 from 4:30-6pm
Friday, February 13 from 12:30-2pm

February 21 (4-6pm) at Rainbow Stew in Yucca Valley

We encourage all participating creatives to attend the receptions they are part of, so they can celebrate their accomplishments, engage with the community, and support fellow artists.
