The opening gala weekend will run September 23 – September 24 and include an Educational Day on Friday where visitors can interact with artists at work and children can enjoy trick roping demonstrations, chuckwagon cooking, western storyteller and more. An invitation-only VIP reception and cocktail party will be held that evening for members and guests.
The September 24 evening Exhibition and Sale is the highlight of the weekend. Ticketed guests will enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres and libations, mingle with the artists and purchase art done by 40 of the most recognized names in western art.
Darrell Beauchamp, Executive Director of the Museum, predicts this year’s Roundup to be exceptional. “The caliber of art is phenomenal. Our participating artists come from around the country and rank among the highest talents in the western art genre.
Among them will be contemporary western artist Noe Perez, talented sculptors Eric Slocombe, Garland Weeks and Jason Scull, southwestern artists John and Edith Maskey and western traditional artists Herman Walker, William Kalwick Jr. and Joe Netherwood. Each artist has pulled out all the stops to give us an exhibition of over 100 pieces of high-quality western art.
“Whether people are long-time collectors or just starting out, they’ll want to attend.”
Details and registration information can be found on the museum’s website, museumofwesterart.com.
The Museum of Western Art has been a cultural icon of the Hill Country since it opened in 1983 and is rated as one of the Top Ten Museums of the West. Located in Kerrville, just off I-10 exit 505, the 17-acre complex sits high on a bluff with panoramic views of the city.
Larger-than-life-size bronze statues dot the grounds, making photo-snapping irresistible. The hacienda-type structure itself is bold and distinctive, having been designed by the famed Texas architect O’Neill Ford. Interior features are likewise impressive with rugged accents, saltillo tiles, hand-cut cypress floors and 13 hand-crafted boveda ceilings.
The Museum of Western Art is located in Kerrville, Texas, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, one hour northwest of San Antonio.
