LIVE AUCTION
Join us for our Live Auction July 22nd!
Our scholarship program is the foundation of what we do and why we gather to celebrate these artists. We raise money that gives an artist the opportunity to fulfill their vision and become a part of the history and future legacy of western women artists.
Our spectacular Live Auction on Saturday, July 22, is where all the fun happens while we raise funds for the scholarship program. Auctioneer, Grayson Haydn-Myer brings you a not to be missed experience. You must be present to bid so be sure to get your tickets for Saturday Night!
