4 STOCK SHOW PRESENTS 56TH ANNUAL COWBOY ARTISTS OF AMERICA EXHIBITION AND SALE Whether it’s love, grace, benevolence or something else, good friendships produce good fruits. Of the many fruits that the friendships between Will Rogers, Amon Carter Sr. and Sid Richardson spanned, one created a lasting legacy and appreciation of Western art here in the City of Cowboys and Culture. And while the museums named after Carter and Richardson are home to significant collections of some of Rogers’ favorite Western artists – Frederick Remington and Charles Russell – Fort Worth had not hosted a major Western art exhibition and sale in recent memory. That was until the Cowboy Artists of America (CAA) brought their annual event to Cowtown in 2019. After the 2020 show and sale was cancelled due to COVID-19, Stock Show leadership stepped up to support the exhibition and sale’s return with help from a wide swath of local supporters and collectors. The results were nothing short of amazing with sales topping $1.2 million, a 30 percent increase from the 2019 event. The 56th CAA Exhibition and Sale is scheduled for November 4 and 5 in the Amon G. Carter Exhibits Hall’s Round Up Inn. With some of the nation’s most elite Western artists showcasing more than 100 pieces – drawings, sculptures, mixed media, water solubles and oils – the event will be a great opportunity to find something unique for your home or office. “We’re proud to, again, be the presenting sponsor of this amazing Western art exhibition and sale,” said Stock Show President and General Manager Brad Barnes. “The collaborations evolving from this event gives an exciting boost to our shared goals of educating our youth on the culture and values of the livestock industry and the western way of life.” Purchase your tickets now at CowboyArtistsOfAmerica.com. You can, not only, purchase tickets but get more information on the exhibition and sale. Information on sponsorship opportunities can also be obtained by contacting Jordan Simons at jsimons@fwssr.com or calling 817-877-2534. A preliminary study of the exhibition will happen at the November 4 preview party. Saturday provides a full day of activities including a Q&A session with the artists that’s moderated by Ed Robeson and hosted by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. An awards luncheon is scheduled followed by the “fixed-price, luck of the draw” sale complete with live music, food and cocktails beginning at 5 p.m. Ticket prices range from $110 (access to most Saturday events) to $225 (access for all Friday and Saturday events). With a shared commitment to education, the Stock Show and CAA are collaborating with Imagination Fort Worth to bring up to 400 local art students to a private viewing of the exhibition on November 2. CAA members will greet and interact with the students providing them insights on the life and profession of a Western artist.
