Since our funding assistance with Amerind Museum’s Fulton-Hayden Memorial Art Gallery revitalization project, FWA has partnered with Amerind to curate and sponsor an annual exhibition in Amerind’s Friends of Western Art Gallery.
Friends of Western Art and Amerind’s eighth joint exhibit, “The Horse“, is on display November 1, 2021 through late May 2022.
The horse is a transformative figure in the American West. They are embedded in the lives and families of many communities. Their power, grace, and personalities have inspired artists from all walks of life. As faithful friends and companions, horses and their people are part of our region’s history and our lives today. This exhibition includes over twenty artists who have captured these amazing creatures in action and repose. In addition to Amerind artworks from the permanent collection, this show contains breathtaking pieces from private collections that cannot be seen anywhere but here. This exhibition is a joint venture between the Amerind Foundation and Friends of Western Art (FWA), a nonprofit organization whose members support awareness of and promote Western Art.
The exhibit is on display from November 1,2021 to May 29, 2022 in the FWA Gallery at The Amerind in Dragoon, Arizona. Visit www.amerind.org or phone 520-586-3666 for operating hours, directions, and other details.
