Our desert has once again opened its arms, welcoming both short- and long-term visitors. Many families who sought solace here in the wake of these tragedies have decided to stay longer, finding refuge in our shared sense of community.

We have a lot of newness ahead of us. The first big one is, of course, the continued post-Covid rebuilding of programming at the Cultural Center, a hub founded over a half-century ago by a group of retired actors, directors, and producers—the pioneers who decided to move here, just like some of us, way back when.
