43rd Annual Cowboy Artists of America Sale October 17, 2008

The most anticipated western fine art event in the country, the 43rd Annual Cowboy Artists of America Sale, will come to Phoenix Art Museum again this October. Presented by the Museum’s Men’s Arts Council, this show presents a depiction of the West only the members of Cowboy Artists of America (CAA) can capture with such realistic skill and spirit. This is the only time that CAA members exhibit together throughout the year. It is the first opportunity to see over 130 new oil paintings, water solubles, drawings and sculptures created over the last year by CAA members. The Sale, a specially-ticketed event on the evening prior to the exhibition’s opening to the public, attracts hundreds of collectors from around the world and has become one of the strongest fundraisers for the Museum.

This Exhibition and Sale is organized by Phoenix Art Museum and the Museum’s Men’s Arts Council. It is presented by Wells Fargo with the continued, generous support from Mr. and Mrs. Robert Norris and the Dellora A. and Lester J. Norris Foundation. Additional support provided by the Sharron and Delbert R. Lewis Exhibition Endowment Fund. Promotional support for this Exhibition and Sale has been provided by The Arizona Republic. This Exhibition and Sale would not be possible without the continued contributions of Western Art Associates.

Everyone is welcome to attend the Sale. Visit the Men’s Arts Council http://www.mensartscouncil.com/ca/ for tickets and more information.

Also, do not miss a great opportunity to attend an intimate dinner with CAs Harley Brown and Dave Powell at Lon’s at the Hermosa’s Artist in Residence Dinner Series.
