Ruby Mountain Project

Ruby Mountain Project is a land-based artist residency and creative hub located near Joshua Tree National Park in the Mojave Desert of southern California. It brings together artists, residents, and community members around art, connection, and land stewardship, supporting a diverse, climate-resilient desert habitat. The organization hosts artist residencies, workshops, open studios, community gatherings, seasonal events, and work-trade and volunteer opportunities. Its residency program welcomes artists and creatives of most disciplines, with an emphasis on encouraging BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and early-career artists to apply, offering shared and private studio spaces in converted shipping containers and outdoor areas.
