Art in the West 

July 5, 2025 – September 20, 2025

Get ready to fall in love with your favorite artworks at the Museum’s annual Art in the West exhibition. This juried exhibition and silent auction features traditional and contemporary art that celebrates the landscapes, wildlife, people, cultures and history of the High Desert — a region that stretches from the eastern slope of the Cascades and Sierras to the Wyoming Basin and Colorado Plateau. Proceeds from the Art in the West auction help support the participating artists and the Museum’s exhibitions and programs, bringing science, art and history education to lifelong learners through the region.
