Wes Studi
In 2021, we are excited to welcome special guest, actor Wes Studi (Cherokee) – The Last of the Mohicans, Geronimo, Dances with Wolves, Avatar and more. Studi is the first Native American actor to receive an Oscar and landed on the New York Times “25 Greatest Actors of the 21st Century (So Far)” list in 2020.
It will be an honor and a pleasure to welcome Wes Studi at Quest for the West® 2021!
TOP WESTERN ARTISTS SHARE THE STORIES OF THE AMERICAN WEST
Presented by the Western Art Society
Masterpieces in Quest for the West® capture moments in time that range from the early days of settlers in the rugged West to contemporary expressions of our lives today. Now in its 17th year, Quest is one of the top Western art shows in the country. Opening weekend registrants will be the first to see and bid on paintings and sculptures by some of the most prominent artists in a “luck of the draw” sale and a miniature art sale.
Quest chair Cathy Turner and Patty Gibbs, President of the Western Art Society, are proud to lead the planning and organization of the 2022 Quest for the West® and hope that you will join the opening weekend sale celebrating the work of many talented Western artists.
Quest for the West® 2021
The 2021 Quest for the West® Art Show & Sale returned in person at the Eiteljorg for a weekend of festivities. The museum welcomed special guest, actor Wes Studi.
