The 34th Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale held its Red Carpet Reception on Thursday night, drawing over 1,000 guests to its new venue on the second floor of The Legacy, the recently completed $100 million headquarters of the National Western Stock Show. The 2026 show features 93 participating artists and 354 works, including wildlife, landscape, sculpture, and plastics, with a sales goal exceeding $1 million to benefit the National Western Scholarship Trust. Featured artist Logan Maxwell Hagege of Ojai, California, presents works such as "Springtime in the Rockies" ($85,000) and "Indigo Stripes" ($18,500), while his piece "Hopeless Dreamer" was purchased for the Stock Show's Permanent Collection.
This move to The Legacy marks a pivotal upgrade for the long-running fundraiser, elevating the quality and visibility of the exhibition. The event not only showcases Western art but also reinforces the National Western Stock Show's role as a cultural and philanthropic hub, with proceeds supporting scholarships. The enthusiastic response from attendees and organizers underscores the success of the new space in enhancing the experience of Western heritage and art.
