Origins

Compound YV opened in April 2018 in an empty storefront facing 29 Palms Highway in Yucca Valley, CA.

Proudly Artist-Run

We primarily exist as a presentation space for visual artists to show immersive or experimental bodies of work.

Open Weekends Fall–Spring

We curate group shows, invite solo artists and guest curators, and host a variety of free and low-cost programs and performances that are open to the public.
