Hi everyone!

We're launching our Summer 2026 fundraiser to support our growing organization. The Artlands Creative operates across the Inland Empire, Coachella Valley, and high desert communities of Southern California, a wide geographic area. In addition, to running a physical gallery space in downtown Redlands, and conducting free and low cost workshops, music events, art exhibitions across our Inland Empire and desert communities, through our REACH (Regional Eco-Arts Community Hub) program, we recently launched a new artist-in-residency program which operates in Redlands (at the University of Redlands) as well as in the Morongo Basin (with a studio space in Yucca Valley). Through this program, we also built a new community garden at Sylvan Park in Redlands, with edible, native plant, and pollinator gardens. The garden is home to free workshops for the community conducted twice monthly by our resident artists. Our free Morongo Basin workshops are conducted at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve in Morongo Valley.

Additionally, we work with our programming partners La Matadora Gallery in Joshua Tree as well as Recycled Art Supplies, which provides new and gently used art supplies for free to students, teachers, and those in need.

This growing operation would not have gotten where it is without community support and we need that support more than ever now. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. We really appreciate it!
