Annual Western Art Show & Sale
Step Into the Heart of the West
May 23rd–24th | 9AM–5PM &
May 25th | 9AM–3PM
Each year, Memorial Day weekend comes alive in beautiful, historic downtown Prescott, Arizona, as the Phippen Museum proudly presents its annual Western Art Show & Sale—one of the most anticipated western art events in the country. From May 23rd–25th, 2026, this beloved tradition returns bigger and better than ever, welcoming art collectors, museum lovers, and western art enthusiasts from across the nation.
Many of today’s most celebrated western artists launched their careers right here, and this year more than 90 acclaimed artists from across America will gather once again at the stunning Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza. Visitors will enjoy a rare opportunity to view exceptional western art, meet the artists in person, and purchase original works directly from the master’s themselves.
Adding to the excitement are two fan-favorite Quick Draw Challenges, where artists race against the clock to create a finished piece of artwork in just 60 minutes—followed immediately by a live art auction while the paint’s still wet! An inspiring artist award ceremony will also recognize outstanding talent across eight artistic mediums, including prestigious honors such as Best in Show, the George Phippen Memorial Foundation Award, and the People’s Choice Award.
