Creating the West

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

The art of the American West is particularly well known for its ability of storytelling—each painting, each sculpture tells a specific narrative of life in the west. A reoccurring theme in many works by western artists is the creation of the west, a romance of what the west once was and the fantasies surrounding it. These dreams draw people to western art and tell us why these stories have such an enduring legacy.

Thank you to our sponsors of this exhibition, Wattis Ranch and Ramkota Hotel of Casper
