Top Western Artists Share the Stories of the American West
Presented by the Western Art Society and Avis Foundation, Inc.
Masterpieces in Quest for the West capture moments in time that range from the early days of 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 have led the planning and organization of the 2022 Quest for the West. We hope that you enjoyed the opening weekend sale celebrating the work of many talented Western artists.
