Welcome to the 2024 HWY 62 Open Studio Art Tours Registration

Sponsored by the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council (MBCAC) and now in its 23rd year, the HWY 62 Open Studio Art Tours (Art Tours) is happening October 5-6, 12-13 & 19-20. This is an opportunity for MBCAC Artist Members share their artwork and studio space with visitors from across the region and beyond.

Registration pricing has been tweaked a little to encourage more studio sharing. Less time on the road for our visitors is a win for everyone.

The Registration Deadline is March 31, 2024.

Do not start the registration process without having everything you need. Once you start, you cannot save your progress and resume later. After your registration is submitted it cannot be changed, so please make sure you have all the correct information:

IMAGES - You'll need three images of your art and/or studio space. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW IMAGE REQUIREMENTS. If you need the services of a professional photographer to shoot your art and meet the image requirements you can email Rose Cefalu at rcefalu@mac.com to schedule a shoot in downtown Joshua Tree on March 15 or 22. Fee is $30 for the three images.

ARTIST STATEMENT - No more than 50 words (you can use https://wordcounter.net for a count). As opposed to a biography or resume, the best statements entice visitors to want to see your art, your studio, and to meet you.
MEMBERSHIP - Make sure you have an active MBCAC Artist Membership current through October. Check here if you're not sure, or need to sign up.
LINKS - Have your URLs for your website, Facebook and/or Instagram on hand.
Our Participation Conditions have been updated to reflect this year’s changes, so please read them before registering.
If you like, you can see the 2023 catalog as reference.
