Art sale continues as a fixed-price sale through March 27

The annual Panhandle-Plains Invitational Western Art Show and Sale moves from its traditional Foran Gallery location to the Harrington Changing Gallery in 2010, affording Associate Director for Curatorial Affairs and Curator of Art Michael Grauer room to invite more notable western artists. 

“We host a combination of traditional Western art and some interpretations of the West with a twist, so don’t expect tired old Western clichés in our exhibition,” Grauer said.

The event’s growth in popularity among art aficionados has spread throughout the region because of its quality, juried nature.  Grauer, an expert in western art, chooses a mix of professional artists from the region and across the United States who depict and interpret the American West.  Most are established artists who have earned their stripes while some “up-and-comers” are included to spice things up.

Proceeds from the sale will be used to conserve works within the collection that have never been exhibited due to their condition.
