You are invited to watch a live art demonstration on Booth Museum’s Facebook page featuring award winning artist Dawn Whitelaw. Whitelaw was one of ten American women artists invited to exhibit in “Inspiring Figures” at the Butler Institute of American Art. Whitelaw is currently on the board of the Portrait Society of America where she serves as vice-chair and has been featured as faculty for Plein Air South and the Plein Air Convention and Expo.

Booth Museum will be going wild with the opening of an exhibit showcasing one of the West’s best wildlife artists, Tucker Smith. Join Seth Hopkins for a preview of the exhibition and a look at some of Tucker’s best work.

Join us for an evening with Colorado landscape painter and member of Plein Air Painters of America Dan Young in Booth’s Bergman Theatre or on Facebook Live. Dan Young was born in Denver, and grew up in Western Colorado. He attended Colorado Institute of Art, hoping to find a direction in art. After graduation, he moved to Dallas to pursue the commercial art field. Even with a successful Illustration career, the landscape was always calling him back. In 1989, he returned to Colorado to begin painting full time. Young enjoys painting the rural life of the West, the ranches that dot the mountain valleys and river bottoms. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Young’s inspiring story.

Join Seth Hopkins and Rossin for a virtual lecture through Rossin’s Southwest and BEYOND on Booth’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. Hear about Rossin growing up watching Western movies in Bulgaria and dreaming of visiting Monument Valley.  Following the 9-day road trip through the Southwest in 2019, Rossin was inspired to create the paintings in the exhibition, featuring portraits of people he met and depictions of the lands encountered. The show confirms the American West still has the power to inspire both Americans and those from around the globe.

This program reveals how the land of Southern Appalachia dictated the culture of the Cherokees. The daily life of this tribe was guided by an intimacy and reverence for nature that our present white culture has not tried to emulate. The result of this oversight is revealed in our lack of understanding about the forest and in the careless treatment of the environment. Learn about Cherokee crafts, weapons, hunting techniques, philosophies, religion, clothing, tools, foods, medicines, and games.

You are invited to join award winning artist Roger Dale Brown for a live art demonstration on Booth Museum’s Facebook page. Roger’s most recent awards include Master Status – American Society of Marine Artist and Oil Painters of America.

You don’t want to miss this opportunity to see award winning artist Alan Shuptrine for a FREE live artist demonstration on Booth’s Facebook page. Alan is known for his Southern and Appalachian Mountains genre but has extended his reputation to a nationally acclaimed watercolorist. Born the son of artist, Hubert Shuptrine (1936-2006), Alan has continued the legacy of realism that both Andrew Wyeth and his father Hubert established.

You are invited to join Seth Hopkins as he walks everyone through the Booth Artists’ Guild Annual Exhibition on Booth Museum’s Facebook page and YouTube channel at 7:00 pm ET. This exhibit showcases 52 pieces of art from 36 artists across the nation. We hope you tune-in to meet some of the artists and learn inspiring stories behind these works of art.
