September
Every fall the Eiteljorg Museum holds the Quest for the West Art Show and Sale. It is one of the most acclaimed Western art shows in the nation, bringing together the country's best contemporary Western artists, who contribute their latest works. People come from around the country for the opening weekend when they have an opportunity to purchase art. The bidding is done in an interesting way and is usually hot and heavy.
We are lucky to have the opportunity to see this show with Dr. Gayle Cox, who has been a long-time supporter of and docent at the Eiteljorg Museum. Over the years she has met many of the artists and can give us some insight into their work.
