In Joshua Tree, CA, BoxoPROJECTS offers a residency for artists working across diverse media. The residency at BoxoHOUSE affords the artist the freedom to explore their practice in an open and welcoming framework. Beyond the inspiration of the landscape, Joshua Tree has a thriving community of artists, writers, musicians, and independent thinkers. This community is available to share a wealth of experience related to the key elements of site, community and environmental matters.

BoxoPROJECTS artist residencies encourage cultural exchange in the Joshua Tree community. They allow artists to enjoy an immersive experience and develop a deep understanding of the area, and to lead public programs that share insights and educate audiences about their own regional, national, and global cultural experiences. Recognizing the individual and systematic inequities that prevail in the art world, BoxoPROJECTS promotes diversity and inclusion by welcoming artists whose production is informed by race, sexual orientation or identity, religion, national origin, gender and/or physical limitations.

The residency is located in close proximity to the Joshua Tree National Park and the village of Joshua Tree.

Artists are asked to develop projects related to the site, environment or community. Projects related to the less explored stories of the community are encouraged.

Each residency offers an artist 2 to 4 weeks of accommodation in a guesthouse and studio space. Occasional meals are provided and the guesthouse has a full kitchen.

Residents should budget for a fee, transportation, materials and food. Fee scholarships,and stipends, are available based on need. It is required that the artist have a vehicle available at all times.

Site specific projects and programming at BoxoHOUSE additionally includes opening to, and interacting with, the local community and a regional audience in some way during the residency.

Residencies are currently offered by invitation and we are not currently reviewing unsolicited proposals.
