Arte en la Charreria: The Artisanship of Mexican Equestrian CultureThe very essence of the Mexican experience is exemplified by the culture of the charro, or Mexican cowboy. It is a rich legacy of tradition and valor, of honor and custom, of war and peace. Arte en la Charreria contains more than 120 examples of the excellent craftsmanship and design distinctive to the Mexican cowboy. The exhibition introduces audiences to the work of talented Mexican artisans who manufacture the articles and costumes that embellish and distinguish the charro tradition.Major SponsorsOklahoma Humanities CouncilJPMorgan ChaseSupporting SponsorOklahoma Arts CouncilKirkpatrick Family Fund"This program is funded in part by the Oklahoma Humanities Council (OHC) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
