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

May 11, at HDA (Hi-Desert Artists) Yucca Valley

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

Little Wonders celebrates the charm and intimacy of small-scale art. This exhibit invites works 5×7 inches or smaller, showcasing how creativity and impact aren’t limited by size. Artists are encouraged to explore detail, delicacy, and personal expression in compact formats. From miniature paintings and drawings to small sculptures or mixed media, Little Wonders highlights the power of tiny creations to captivate, inspire, and delight viewers. All mediums are welcome.
Intake dates at Rainbow Stew, Yucca Valley
Thursday, May 14 from 4:30-6pm
Friday, May 15 from 12:30-2pm

May 16 (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.

Our NEXT Chaparral Outing

Chaparral Artists Late Spring Outings 🎨🌵
Nothing Schedule as of now…. With gas prices high and heat climbing, we are slow to commit to anything too far from the hi-desert where so many of our members reside. IF there is an overwhelming desire to go somewhere, please share by emailing the art group because carpooling always lows costs of travel. We need enough people interested in an outing to make group travel possible!

Our CURRENT Featured Artists!

The remaining days of March and all through April we are happy to feature Victoria Sebanz, a woman of much talent sharing a glorious variety of mediums. Swing by Aquafit Activities Center to enjoy the display during normal business hours.

Nancy Miehle continues to delight us with her lovely stained glass until the 26th when the remaining days of March, through April we are pleased to feature Myrtle Cassel at Desert Hills Presbyterian Church in Yucca Valley!

Show your support by visiting these venues and enjoying beautiful creations! For more information about these venues, visit the Schedule page. For more information about these artists visit the Members page and search for their name.
