The gallery is the oldest arts organization in the Morongo Basin, with roots tracing back to 1951-52 when eight distinguished artists founded the Guild.

Today, the space features monthly art exhibitions, adult and youth art education, juried exhibitions, artist receptions, and two annual art fairs. Each November, the gallery hosts the Joshua Tree National Park Art Expo. A Gift Shop inside the gallery offers original art pieces, jewelry, ceramics, paintings, cards, unique decor, and clothing from local artists. Purchases directly support the volunteer-run organization, with 100% of sales going toward maintaining the historic site and supporting the artists.
Located at 74055 Cottonwood Drive, the gallery sits at the Oasis of Mara near the Joshua Tree National Park Headquarters.
