High Desert Art Fair

The High Desert Art Fair brings two full days of art, music, and community to the grounds of the Pioneertown Motel and its surrounding desert. Visitors can wander between outdoor booths and indoor displays featuring regional artists, makers, and photographers, all working in conversation with the landscape of the Morongo Basin. Expect a mix of contemporary and Western-inspired work, from painting and sculpture to textiles, ceramics, and desert craft. Throughout the weekend, the fair turns the historic motel into a small creative campus, with artists, locals, and out-of-towners mingling in shared courtyards and walkways. It’s an easy daytime outing for anyone looking to explore Pioneertown, discover new work from high desert creatives, and experience a slice of local culture in one of the most storied corners of the California desert.
