Art in the West 2026

 

Fine Art Exhibit & Online Auction

July 18, 2026 through October 2, 2026

Art in the West is an annual juried exhibition and silent auction featuring 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.

Featuring more than 120 artworks, the entire collection will be on exhibit at the High Desert Museum beginning Saturday, July 18. The collection will be available for viewing through our online auction page; stay tuned for more information. Get ready to fall in love with your favorite pieces and bid from your computer or mobile device! 

Proceeds from the Art in the West auction helps support the participating artists and the Museum’s exhibitions and programs, bringing science, art and history education to lifelong learners through the region.
