This annual exhibition gathered the best works of art created during the preceding year. The young artists ranged from elementary school to high school students.

Chuck Middlekauff was first exposed to the Western culture of cowboys, truckers, and diners during cross-country car trips with his family. Today he relishes the challenge of painting windmills, roadside attractions and billboards that show textures induced by weathering and years of hard use. Route 66 has provided consistent subject matter for Middlekauff for years; however, an invitation from the Booth Museum to explore Highway 41 was an opportunity he readily accepted. This exhibition showcased works inspired by each of these legendary roads.

Created by the Grand Canyon Association and organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services, Lasting Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography showcased 60 photographs covering the photographic history of the Grand Canyon. Included were images of early photographers dangling from cables to get the perfect shot along with more modern images that are bold and dramatic, revealing the canyon’s awesome views.

In the early 1900s, a small group of academically trained artists formed the Taos Society of Artists. Their goal was to promote a truly American art as an alternative to much of what was then being produced, which they considered merely an east coast version of European art. By depicting the Taos Indians and the landscape of Northern New Mexico, these artists brought fame to Taos and themselves. The exhibition included examples from many of the Taos Society members, drawn from the Olson Family Collection.

Drawn from the collection of the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this exhibition featured paintings and sculpture by the greatest wildlife artists of the 19th and 20th centuries. Wildlife from all regions of the United States was included, with a heavy emphasis on the West. Artists represented included deceased masters such as Albert Bierstadt, George Catlin and Charles Russell, along with contemporary masters like Tucker Smith, Bob Kuhn and Robert Bateman.

John Nieto is recognized as one of the world’s leading painters of the contemporary West. Nieto’s work clearly reflects his mixed Hispanic and Native American heritage. His distinct style includes elements from his native New Mexico, as well as his travels to Europe where he was influenced by the expressionist painters who released their subconscious in their paintings.

Artist Bob Graham, working from his home state of South Carolina, is known for his rendering of characters from America’s past. Although he has earned the nickname “The Saltwater Cowboy” for his numerous paintings of Western subjects, his passion for recreating historical caricatures emerges from his participation in Civil War re-enactments and activities that celebrate American heritage.

Showcasing the work of 16 contemporary African American artists, this exhibition gave new light on the important role blacks played in developing the West. In addition to the stories of black cowboys and buffalo soldiers, works of art also featured black lawmen, explorers, rodeo stars and women.

This exhibition showcased the artwork of Santa Fe artist David DeVary, featured artist for the 6th Annual Southeastern Cowboy Festival & Symposium. DeVary believes the cowboy and cowgirl are the American icons of today. As such, these subjects deserve to be painted like the religious icon paintings of much earlier times. DeVary uses metals such as copper, gold and silver along with oil paint to present colorful portraits of cowboys and cowgirls who are full of attitude and raw emotion.

Of Cherokee descent, Weldon’s passion for his family heritage led him to begin drawing Native Americans. His works, based upon historical research, are highly developed in terms of technique, but also tell a story and convey emotions. One of Tony’s drawings is part of Booth Museum’s permanent collection, while another was recently accepted into the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian. This exhibition recognized the Cherokee heritage that links the West with the Southeast.

Featured the artistry of basket makers Eva Wolfe and Rowena Bradley, this exhibition was drawn from the collection of Lambert Wilson in western North Carolina, home of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation. The baskets selected represent the continuing tradition of an art form for which Cherokee people have been known for centuries.

Although formally trained in New York, and utilizing contemporary methods and materials in his sculpture, Ed continues to evoke the carving traditions of his ancestors. Recently, Noisecat has worked in Oklahoma and New Mexico and has been featured in Southwest Art Magazine.

Likewise, artistic traditions are passed-down from parents to their children, just as Alvina learned pottery making from her mother. Her exquisite works demonstrate an integration of traditional nature motifs with her own contemporary innovations.

Today’s native basket-makers work within a tradition that is centuries old. Although Native basketry traditions suffered in the dislocations and epidemics of the 18th and 19th centuries, many tribes are reviving the old techniques and encouraging the development of weaving skills in the community. Most basketry traditions are closely tied to the land; baskets are made locally of available fibers and dyed with local plants.
