DOSA AT SMMOA: EXPLORING JOSHUA TREE
13 July - 17 August 2013

The Santa Monica Museum of Art’s gift shop, GRACIE, presents dosa at SMMoA: Exploring Joshua Tree, a unique art installation and temporary shop that invokes the desert landscape of southeastern California. dosa at SMMoA: Exploring Joshua Tree features clothing, accessories, and housewares from the exquisite Summer 2013 collection of the internationally acclaimed dosa clothing line.

This collection draws upon the sensory world of Joshua Tree National Park, a constant source of inspiration for dosa’s renowned designer, Christina Kim. The installation at SMMoA distills the contours, hues and saturations of the desert and its distinctive flora, and highlights new items available for the first time at SMMoA during Exploring Joshua Tree.

dosa at SMMoA: Exploring Joshua Tree continues an ongoing creative friendship among SMMoA executive director Elsa Longhauser, GRACIE retail curator Amy Coane, and dosa founder Christina Kim. The project extends the breathtaking success of the summer 2012 dosa at SMMoA, which raised over $30,000 to support the Museum’s programs. Likewise, all proceeds from Exploring Joshua Tree benefit the Museum.
