Life on the Ranch and in the Studio, and on the Road

2024 is already being planned and the Women Artists of the West Volunteers have been busy preparing for not one, but two outstanding shows.

The year kicks off with the 54th National Women Artists of the West Show at the Phippen Art Museum in Prescot/Sedona, Arizona in March.

The second event is the Exhibition and Sale. The First Woolaroc/WAOW Invitational at Woolaroc Museum and Preserve with 37 of our top artists exhibiting work from across this great country, with members from Canada and Australia also participating. The Invitational is the first weekend in May. 

I feel so blessed to be a part of this Invitational Show as one of the 37 invited artists.

As a Master-Signature Emeritus of WAOW, I will also be participating in the 54th National as a Master-Signature. 

I will be posting more information about the Woolaroc, as I am the show coordinator for this show. After 7 years of hard work, this show and exhibition will come to fruition. Advertisements will be appearing in all the major western genre' national magazines. Radio spots on local Bartlesville station will carry interviews and the bMonthly magazine in Bartlesville will have interesting stories about Women Artists of the West. 

We are so excited and honored to be in the Woolaroc Museum for the first-ever all women art exhibit in the history of the museum in the main museum. Activities will be announced beginning soon with several days of events on Wednesday and Thursday and demonstrations kicking off the weekend. There will be fine art of all sizes and sculpture will be featured as well. 

Come, plan on joining us as we celebrate western art through the eyes of women and from their perspective. Become a collector and support women artists by purchasing women's artwork. Or just come to enjoy! It is a groundbreaking event in the world of womens art.
