The Museum of Western Art in Kerrville, Texas, is planning a blockbuster exhibition for their 41st year. Darrell Beauchamp, executive director, says that Western art enthusiasts can expect a stellar selection of original art to add to their collection.
“We moved our annual Roundup Exhibition and Sale from September to April to accommodate artists who were unable to participate in previous years due to conflicting shows,” he says. “The date change has made it possible for many toprated artists to be with us and we couldn’t be happier.”
Opening weekend will be packed with activities. The evening of Friday, April 26, is the artist dinner and award presentation, with a panel of judges determining who takes home the coveted Director’s Choice Award and the Patron’s Choice Award. Saturday morning, April 27, will kick off with a chuckwagon breakfast, followed by artist’s demonstrations, trick ropers, cowboy storytellers and other Western-themed activities. That evening will include a cocktail reception, dinner and annual sale. All art purchased on opening weekend will be tax-exempt.
More than 50 artists from around the country have been juried into the show, with more than 100 works of original paintings and sculptures on display. The 41st Annual Roundup Exhibition and Sale will be on view through June 8, 2024.
