    What a treasure! Art and history collide in this great museum of the old west and native American culture.

    19th Annual Cowgirl Up!

    March 22, 2024  –  September 1, 2024

    In 2006, Desert Caballeros Western Museum embraced a revolutionary idea: an annual exhibition showcasing the brightest contemporary female artists working in the Western genre. In the male-dominated world of Western Art, Cowgirl Up! turned the spotlight squarely on women’s voices and perspectives, serving up a new, deeper understanding of the American West. Over a decade later, CU! remains one of the major national events for Western women artists.
