“This amazing group of professional artists continues to create the most incredible work,” said Joren Traveller, High Desert Art League’s president. “Although many of us are affiliated with various galleries and associations, High Desert Art League shows pull our creative wonders together into one show as a unique collective exhibit.” The High Desert Art League was formed in 2000 as a professional artist group working to support the advancement of its member artists through exhibitions, education and related outreach.
