Fine Art Exhibit & Online Auction
July 8 – September 22, 2023
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.
The entire collection will be on exhibit at the High Desert Museum and available for viewing in the 2023 Gallery Guide beginning Saturday, July 8. Fall in love with your favorite pieces and bid from your computer or mobile device.
You will have the opportunity to register to become a bidder and preview the exhibition on our website shortly after the exhibit opens. Proceeds from the Art in the West auction help support the participating artists and the Museum’s educational programs, bringing science, art and history education to lifelong learners through the region.
Thank you for your interest in Art in the West. Please share this website with friends, family and colleagues who are interested in collecting art while supporting regionally and nationally acclaimed artists and the High Desert Museum.
If you have questions, please contact us at ghodge@highdesertmuseum.org.
