The exhibit and art sale on view at the museum’s Cultural Crossroads Learning Center, located at 17 N Tegner Street in Wickenburg (Corner of W. Wickenburg Way and Tegner at the light in downtown Wickenburg.)

Local artists and members of the Wickenburg Art Club will be exhibiting artworks in many media, including sculpture, oil and acrylic painting, pastel, photography and digital art, wood carving and wood turning, drawing and mixed media. Sales are encouraged!

The Wickenburg Art Club and the Desert Caballeros Western Museum, cornerstones of Wickenburg’s art community since the 1960’s, collaborate for the Annual West of Center show, a community-curated exhibition and sale. Each summer, the museum hosts the Wickenburg Art Club which curates a selection of artwork by its talented members.

This collaboration, now lasting for a decade, was an outgrowth of the community’s interest in promoting art and business in Wickenburg’s historic downtown area and has been a success ever since.

The exhibit features the work of over 30 local artists adept in many different art media, such as, painting, ceramics, photography, wood-working, fiber art, jewelry, and more. There is something for every art lover to enjoy. Artists also  give free demonstrations during the run of the show.

The public is invited to attend a Preview Reception to view the artwork and vote for their favorite piece of art for the People’s Choice award, enjoy refreshments, and meet the artists at this special celebration.
