The 2021 event will include perennial crowd favorite Art in Action, featuring nationally known artists working in a variety of media while interacting with attendees, and ending with a live auction of the completed works. The First Strike auction focuses solely on new work by contemporary artists. The schedule of events culminates in the live auction, which raises the stakes by featuring contemporary works by members of the prestigious Russell Skull Society of Artists and others, as well as historically significant pieces by Charles M. Russell and other masters. With a wide variety of works, both experienced collectors and burgeoning bidders alike have the opportunity to compete in this lively lineup of Western art events on the newly expanded campus of the C.M. Russell Museum. For those unable to attend in person, each auction will offer a variety of remote bidding options.

Russell will be on display at the museum as part of The
Russell exhibition throughout the summer. A special event for 2021, the C.M. Russell Museum will present a sealed bid sale of important historical works of art, featuring a limited, and carefully selected lineup of works by Harold von Schmidt, Gerard Curtis Delano and Russell, among others.
