MillerPhippen Museum. “Horse lovers, art enthusiasts and Western art collectors alike will all be enthralled with the Phippen Museum’s popular, annual exhibition and sale, Hold Your Horses!

History of The Phippen Museum

“As a museum of Western art, the Phippen Museum has everything you need to know about the Wild West. They have many educational and group tours available upon request. Some of their permanent exhibits include studio replicas, a special collection room, a Western heritage gallery, and a rancher and cowboy hall of fame. All of the Phippen Museum’s exhibits include elaborate paintings, sculptures, and displays. These combined with their temporary exhibits paint a full picture of what life was like in era of “Cowboys and Indians”. ”

Smithsonian Magazine says “George Phippen, western painter and sculptor, was also a co-founder and the first President of the Cowboy Artist of America. He Passed away in 1966, but his work ethic and inspirational character encouraged a group of friends and family to pursue the creation of a facility in his honor that would specifically represent artists and artwork of the American West. Today, the art, heritage, history and legends of the American West come alive at the Phippen. Our 17,000 sq. ft. facility now boasts two studio replicas, four galleries, a museum store, multipurpose classroom, research library and four permanent exhibits, including the Western Heritage Gallery and the Solon H. Borglum collection room.”

Mark your calendars and join us for the opening reception on Friday, August 3, 2018.
 
Now I have to decide which two horse photographs I will be submitting to the Hold your horses exhibit and sale.

Not my first time showing at The Phippen Museum

In 2006 The Phippen Museum hosted a show called “Fresh Eyes-Emerging photographic talents of the west”.  I entered a few images into this show and was awarded The Phippen Award for Bringing ’em Home.  The Phippen award was given for the image that most depicted the mission statement of the museum.

Mission Statement: To preserve and exhibit museum quality Western art and educate the public about the unique heritage, history, legends and influence of art of the American West.
