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

March 9, at the Joshua Tree Community Center

Let’s keep gathering together with art 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

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, the Creative Photography show calls to all photographers interested in a friendly competition spanning three categories – Nature, Creatures, Man-Made. Please only submit photographs that have NOT previously been awarded a prize in a Chaparral show.
Intake dates
Thursday, March 12 from 4:30-6pm
Friday, March 13 from 12:30-2pm

March 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.
