Our Story

Membership

Explore Membership

In 1948, the Mountain Oyster Club was founded by a group of six men, who envisioned a place for cowboys, ranchers and polo players and their families to feel welcome and relaxed while enjoying delicious food, beverages and camaraderie in their blue jeans and boots. The Mountain Oyster Club continues to be just that kind of place today and more. If you share our interest and want to preserve our western heritage, then you belong in the Mountain Oyster Club!

Our Renowned
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.
