HWY 62 TO PALM SPRINGS

The thriving arts community which stretches from Morongo Valley to Wonder Valley, through the inspiring land of the Joshua Tree and the surrounding area is uniquely vibrant, touched by the magic of the desert.  During the two final weekends of October, hundreds of emerging and established artists, working in all types of media, welcome thousands of visitors, on a self-guided journey, into "open studio," their private workspaces, their homes.

This years Art Tours is more ambitious than ever, with events ranging from an avant gard circus to a drive-in movie screening of a 1950's sci-fi classic filmed in Joshua Tree.

Saturday, October 1st, Savage gallery will hoast an evening where a subgroup of artists will show samples of the work which will be part of the Art Tours.

The soundtract to your trip through the desert, a compilation CD made for this years Art Tour, is comprised of 18 Hi Desert bands, in cluding dreamy, experimental musicians Polio Sugar.

This years 10th annual Hyy 62 Art Tours is the premiere arts event of the year in the Hi Desert, taking place October 21-23 and 28-30.  Attendees of the Savage Gallery on October 1st will be privileged to a sneak preview.  Handsomely designed retro programs and CD's will be available.
