High Desert Museum

The High Desert Museum will bring together key stakeholders to develop and implement the first High Desert Project, deconstructing the traditional conference structure to create a new approach to engaging broad audiences in dialogue-one that builds on the unique strengths of museums. Unified through a central theme, the biennial event series will include a multi-day convening and on- and off-site experiences, such as breakout programs, art installations and interactive exhibitions. The event series is designed to engage community members, thought leaders, scholars, artists, policymakers, and non-traditional leaders in informed dialogue about relevant issues. The project will make the High Desert Museum an essential catalyst for community dialogue and connection and a linchpin for collaborative approaches to challenges in the region.
