Five years ago Frederick Fulmer and Jim Berg sponsored the first annual JTHAR program. This year they are joined by co-sponsors Sarah Kennington, Steve Bardwell, Ruth and Steve Rieman.

The JTHAR program is growing a group of ambassadors for the desert that carry the message about this special place to people around the world. Artists participating in past yeas came from all over the US plus Argentina, Brazil, England and Austria. They discovered and learned to love the empty fullness they found here in which to live and create. Several have returned for visits to experience more.

For more information about this year’s artists and the JTHAR program please call Frederick Fulmer at 760-366-3636.
