Now in its 39th year, this popular show and sale has continuously provided solid sales and large crowds, as well as serving as a springboard for up-and-coming Western artists. In addition, the Prescott area is home to some of the nation's best Western artists today, including: Bill Nebeker CA, John Coleman CA, Dave Powell CA, Bill Anton, Doug Hyde, Bill Owen CA and others.

The show is open to all artists submitting work featuring Art of the American West in 7 medium categories: Acrylic, Drawing, Mixed Media, Oil, Pastel, Sculpture and Watercolor. It is a juried show and provides a great opportunity to meet fellow artists and create solid contacts with the art buying public. Also taking advantage of the first official holiday of the summer season, this event is held in the cool pines of Northern Arizona before the heat of the season arrives.
