Cowboy Classics Western Art Show and Sale
Spanning more than 30 years, the Arizona National Livestock Show has been a showcase for the western lifestyle and a tribute to the American Cowboy. Working with a special grant provided by the Kemper and Ethel Marley Foundation, the Arizona National Livestock Show is proud to do its part in helping to support and encourage Western Artists. In doing so, we help them gain recognition, visibility, and opportunities for their work in the art world.
Promoting cowboy artists, who often focus on Western and Cowboy-themed art, involves specific strategies to showcase their unique artistic perspectives and connect with a target audience interested in Western culture and heritage.
Promoting cowboy artists involves not only showcasing their artwork but also embracing and conveying the rich cultural and historical significance of the cowboy and Western way of life. By effectively reaching out to the cowboy and Western enthusiast community, cowboy artists can find a dedicated audience eager to support and appreciate their work.
While it has had many iterations throughout the years, we’re excited to have joined forces with the Art of the Gowgirl, a local organization which specializes in providing fellowships for aspiring female artists. Each year, we work with the Art of the Cowgirl to select one of their fellows to produce a commissioned piece for our Show Dedication. Since it’s inception, this new association with the Art of Cowgirl has brought a new level of success to the Cowboy Classics program.
