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 ninth joint exhibit, “Livestock at Home & on the Range”, is on display November 12, 2022 through May 28, 2023.
Livestock has shaped every aspect of life in the American West. The management, care, and
feeding of livestock influenced land ownership, law, water rights, town locations, railroad destinations, architecture, and jobs. In caring for these magnificent animals, families have dedicated generations to their husbandry. Livestock are embedded in the lives of many communities.
The artists of the American West have always found livestock, their caretakers, and ranches to be a source of inspiration. This exhibition includes over twenty artists who have captured livestock buildings and these essential animals 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 and Friends of Western Art (FWA).
“LIVESTOCK AT HOME & ON THE RANGE” was jointly curated by FWA’s Wendy Davis, Beth Fulfer, Helen Sanders, and Barbara Peck. Amerind curators Eric Kaldahl and Maria Martinez rounded out the curatorial team.
The exhibit is on display from November 12, 2022 to May 28, 2023 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.
