First Orchid Art Show and Exhibition at Gubler Orchids Oct 4-5 2025

Chaparral Artists proudly presents our first ever art show and open competition at the renowned Morongo Basin Orchid Festival 

Set against the stunning backdrop of Gubler Orchids—a true gem nestled in the heart of beautiful Landers, California—this celebrated festival, co-hosted with the San Bernardino Orchid Society, has long offered a weekend of unforgettable family fun. Each year, visitors from across the region gather to enjoy dazzling orchid displays, engaging educational experiences, and meaningful opportunities to support local nonprofits throughout the Morongo Basin.

This year visual art takes center stage! Chaparral Artists Art Competition will highlight two-dimensional creative works, providing a fresh avenue for local artists to shine alongside and inspired by the botanical wonders.
