Through September 3, 2023
The Desert Caballeros Western Museum is much admired for preserving and exhibiting the art and history of the Southwest and desert frontier. Eighteen years ago, it launched “Cowgirl Up! Art from the Other Half of the West,” an invitational exhibition and sale that — in the male-dominated field of Western art — has turned the spotlight squarely on women’s perspectives.
CU! remains a leading national event for women artists, and its 18th edition will feature more than 55 emerging and established talents, selected from over 300 applicants. Their paintings, drawings, and sculptures are made in a range of techniques, styles, and mediums. This year’s exhibition is divided into two galleries: one of “miniatures” and the other of full-sized art.
