Since 1973, the world’s finest Western painters and sculptors have captured cowboy culture for the “Prix de West Invitational Art Exhibition & Sale,” at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, in Oklahoma City. The exhibition recently opened and runs through Aug. 3, 2025.

Every year the Prix de West committee has the arduous task of selecting one piece of exhibition art for the prestigious Prix de West Purchase Award and a place in the museum’s permanent collection.
