The Brinton Museum (Big Horn, Wyoming) recently presented the Bighorn Rendezvous Art Show & Sale, featuring nearly 180 works of art by 33 members of the Northwest Rendezvous Group of Artists and seven guest artists.
The Northwest Rendezvous Group of Artists boasts the prestige of being the first contemporary Western artists group to introduce the “quick draw” at art events. Museum visitors had the opportunity to meet and talk with the artists working en plein air in various locations on the museum grounds, creating original art in what is a “quick on the draw” style of working.
A spirited auction of quick-draw art on the Brinton Pavilion resulted in an auction that benefited the artists, the Northwest Rendezvous Group, and the Brinton Museum. In appreciation of the kindhearted generosity of our Bighorn Rendezvous Art Show & Sale sponsors, and the greater Sheridan community for its invaluable support of the Brinton, Saturday’s Quick Draw & Live Auction were offered as free admission, and all museum exhibits were open to the public, at no charge as well.
