Yucca Valley Material Lab

Established in 2019, Yucca Valley Material Lab (YVML) provides a diverse range of programs including artist and musician residencies, instructional workshops, an art gallery, library and recording studio, and free public events. 

We offer up to 7 funded visual artist residencies a year which provide an opportunity to explore diverse materials such as metal, glass, wood, and clay. These two week residencies include lodging, studio access, instruction, and opportunities for community engagement. Our Musician-in-Residence program supports underrepresented artists with an emphasis on BIPOC and disabled artists engaged in non-Eurocentric experimental music. The program provides lodging, recording studio access, and professional recording. It concludes with a free, public performance.
