Art Show
Named one of the “Top 50 Art Events and Galleries in the Southwest” by Southwest Art magazine, The Mountain Oyster Club Contemporary Western Art Show and Sale features original artwork from over 200 renowned and emerging artists. Each fall, the Club’s extensive Art Collection is carefully tucked away to allow all available space to be filled with the Show’s stunning artwork. The sale of pieces in the show is determined by a drawing, which is held the Sunday before Thanksgiving with special member events leading up to the drawing. The Art Show Gallery can be viewed on the website in early October.
