The exhibit as part of the 2014 Joshua Tree National Park Art Exposition is displayed at the 29 Palms Art Gallery for only one month, so unfortunately it was taken down at the end of December.
I would recommend she try and connect with Gretchen Grunt at the 29 Palms Creative Center & Gallery. Gretchen is an incredible artist herself, and works in many different mediums. Also being a long time resident in the area she's very well connected with the arts community and may have other people for your daughter to network with.
