Trappings of Texas at the Museum of the Big Bend

Trappings of Texas is the second longest running western art and cowboy gear show in the United States. The prestigious annual invitational exhibit brings artists and gearmakers from across North and South America to display their creations to patrons of this vanishing culture.

Held the last weekend in February, in conjunction with the Texas Cowboy Poetry Gathering on the Sul Ross campus, Trappings is the sole fundraising project for Museum of the Big Bend programs. Each artist has the option to waive commission fees for the show and instead, to donate a piece to the popular live auction, where collectors vie for fine art and gear as well as for potential bargains on such items as donated lodging, guided hunts, restaurant gift certificates and unique local goods.

For information on this year's exhibit, preview party or the auction, contact the Museum of the Big Bend at Sul Ross State University in Alpine, TX.
