In one of the most significant events in the world of fine art, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum hosts two outstanding exhibitions: the Cowboy Artists of America (CAA) and the Traditional Cowboy Arts Association (TCAA). Opening weekend activities include dinner or lunch with the artists, preview of the exhibits, artist demonstrations, book signings, an autograph party and exclusive trunk shows at the Museum Store. The public is invited to participate in all opening weekend festivities — no invitation is needed, but reservations are required for most activities.

The Cowboy Artists of America will be holding their 53^rd Annual Sale & Exhibition from Oct. 4-Nov. 25, 2018. Works in the exhibition perpetuate the memory and culture of the Old West as typified by the late Frederic Remington, Charles Russell and others, while ensuring authentic representations of the life of the West as it was and is today.

The Traditional Cowboy Arts Association is hosting their 20^th Annual Exhibition & Sale from Oct. 4, 2018-Jan. 6, 2019. The exhibit features some of the best artisans in contemporary saddle-making, bit and spur-making, silversmithing and rawhide braiding.

Don’t miss this fine art event for art connoisseurs and cowboy fans alike! Both the CAA and TCAA exhibits are open to the general public with regular museum admission.
