Fine Art Meets Traditional Cowboy Tools in 22nd Traditional Cowboy Arts Association Sale and Exhibition
Traditional Cowboy Arts Association (TCAA) is elevating the legacy of the traditional cowboy arts at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Saddles, bits and spurs, braided rawhide and Western silver are presented as fine art as well as functional pieces of Cowboy equipment during the 22nd Annual Traditional Cowboy Arts Association Annual Sale at The Cowboy.
Fourteen of the finest traditional cowboy artists will exhibit 51 pieces of original work in Oklahoma City during the 22nd annual Traditional Cowboy Arts Exhibition & Sale, October 1, 2021 – January 2, 2022, at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.
“The Traditional Cowboy Arts Exhibition & Sale is a highlight not only for those with an interest in the cowboy arts, but also for those with an interest in art, period,” said Museum President & CEO Natalie Shirley. “The saddle makers, bit and spur makers, silversmiths and rawhide braiders who comprise the TCAA are among the most skilled artists working today; creating extraordinarily beautiful art that evolved from the tools of the working cowboy.”
The Traditional Cowboy Arts Exhibition and Sale weekend will begin with an Exclusive Preview Cocktail Reception, Friday, October 1 at 6:00 p.m. to allow potential buyers and collectors the opportunity to see the pieces the day before the sale.
The exhibition will open to the public at 10 a.m., Saturday, October 2.
