Cost: Donation

Singing sand dunes, volcanic cinder cones, Joshua tree forests, and carpets of wildflowers are all found in the 1.6 million acres that make up the Mojave National Preserve located between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Bob Killen, the President of the Mojave National Preserve Artists Foundation and Todd Seuss, the superintendent for Mojave National Preserve will visit Samy’s Photo School for a 90 minute presentation, virtually transporting us to Mojave’s majestic canyons, mountains, mesas, long-abandoned mines and rock-walled military outposts.

America’s early railroads used art prints to promote rail travel to national parks. This and other western scenic art awakened a nation to the beauty in our national parks. During their presentation, Bob and Todd will also talk about Mojave’s Artists in Residence Program, including how to apply to be an Artist in Residence.

Artists are invited to become part of this tradition through Mojave National Preserve’s Artist in Residence program. Selected artists will discover and interpret Mojave’s landscape through their own creative projects and will become a conduit for promoting an understanding of the Mojave in new and unique ways.

Artists in Residence from past years will be at the presentation to discuss their desert experiences and share the art work they have created. The presentation will wrap up with an opportunity for questions from the audience.
