Days left7w leftDecember 15, 2026

All Information

JTHAR offers selected artists a seven-week period to focus on creative production in the landscape surrounding Joshua Tree National Park in California. It accepts a broad range of disciplines and career stages, including visual arts, photography, film, video, installation, architecture and writing. Artists receive private living accommodation, studio access and a scholarship to help with participation costs. The residency is internationally accessible, but it is not completely expense-free: artists must arrange their own transport and need access to a vehicle during the programme.
