This summer, Powell artists will be featured as the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum celebrates the 45th Annual Cheyenne Frontier Days Western Art Show & Sale. Running from July 17 to Aug. 10, this long-standing tradition honors the enduring spirit and imagery of the American West while showcasing the country’s top Western artists.

From sweeping landscapes to dynamic wildlife, and from powerful portraits to intricate sculptures, this exhibit brings together over 50 renowned artists whose work reflects the heart, grit, and beauty of Western life. Powell artists Paul Kethley, a Western oil painter; Laurie Lee, a Western oil painter; and Dustin Payne, a bronze sculptor, will be included.

Since 1981, the Western Art Show has raised over $3 million in support of the museum’s art, education, exhibits, collections and operating funds whose mission is to preserve and share the heritage of the American West as experienced through the celebration of Cheyenne Frontier Days.
