The public is invited to celebrate fine art during the opening weekend of the Prix de West, June 8-9. No formal invitation is needed, but reservations are required for most opening weekend activities. Prix de West is regarded as a special weekend in the art world. It is that and more—stretching into a two-month exhibition and the world’s premier Western art sale. Clearly, this is an event living up to its French title meaning “best of the West.”

The Prix de West is a career booster for participating artists, a memory-making experience for collectors, and the largest annual fundraiser for the Museum, which operates without tax-based support and depends on private, corporate, and foundation contributions. Perhaps you have attended every one of these events in the Museum’s history or you’ve heard about it and always dreamed of coming. The welcome mat is out for you to participate in North America’s top Western art happening!

After the auction, the Prix de West will remain on view through August 5th.
