The Artlands

The Artlands is a dynamic 501(c)(3) nonprofit creative organization and cultural hub serving the Inland Empire, Coachella Valley, and high desert regions of Southern California. Located at their flagship gallery and shop in Downtown Redlands, The Artlands has grown from grassroots beginnings into a vibrant community space that champions established and emerging artists, musicians, writers, and creative professionals. The organization cultivates creativity through a diverse range of offerings including art exhibitions, live performances, publishing projects, public art activations, and media production. Their physical spaces function as hybrid venues—part gallery, part retail shop, part community gathering spot—creating an inviting atmosphere where visitors can discover original artwork, art prints, merchandise, and engage directly with the creative process. Beyond their Redlands location, The Artlands operates multiple satellite spaces including La Matadora Gallery in Joshua Tree and Artlands Coachella Valley, extending their reach and cultural impact across the region. The organization has produced events and activations from Southern California to Austin, Texas, demonstrating their growing influence in contemporary art and creative culture. Their community-focused mission attracts artists, collectors, culture enthusiasts, and curious visitors seeking authentic creative experiences. The Artlands welcomes volunteers and donors who share their vision of making art and cultural opportunities accessible to everyone. With an emphasis on grassroots creativity and sustainable practices—including a recycled art supplies initiative—The Artlands represents a fresh, inclusive approach to contemporary art curation and community building in underserved creative markets.
