50th Annual Western Art Show & Sale
2024 Jury Application
This extremely popular annual art event features some of the most outstanding Western artists in America today, all seeking the recognition, pride, and prestige this show provides. But almost as important to the participants as pursuing artistic excellence is the special hometown atmosphere and camaraderie this holiday show and sale provides.
Many western enthusiasts, art collectors, and locals all look forward to this Memorial Day weekend tradition held every year on the beautiful Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza in downtown Prescott, a famous and infamous district that elicits the flavor of the old west and complements the venue with antique shops, saloons, and historic hotels.
So we hope you can join us this year in support of this special presentation of the great Art of the American West and the Phippen Museum.
