Desert Forest: Life with Joshua Trees
Museum of Art and History, Lancaster CA
September 7 - December 29, 2024

Chris McCaw's iconic Sunburn prints are included in Desert Forest: Life with Joshua Trees, a group exhibition at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History. Desert Light sheds light on the threatened Joshua tree and the fragile Mojave Desert ecosystem that sustains it. The project integrates natural history, indigenous knowledge, public policy, scientific research, and artistic expressions to emphasize the challenges facing the Joshua tree and conservation efforts. With a focus on the impact of climate change, development, wildfires, and other threats, the exhibition explores the symbiotic relationships between Joshua trees, soil fungi, and moth pollinators, engaging a diverse audience interested in arts and environmental issues. 

 

Desert Life is among more than 60 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty.
