About This Event
On view through August 14, 2026, Working the West brings together an acclaimed group of artists whose work captures the authenticity, resilience, and beauty of life in the American West. Featured artists include photographers Anouk Masson Krantz, Jay Dusard, Jim Krantz, and Rob Hammer, alongside ceramicist Luke Beatty and master saddlemaker Doug Cox. “This exhibition is a powerful tribute to the people, places, and traditions that define the West,” said Wes Allison, President & CEO of National Western. “As we continue to evolve into a year-round organization, Working the West reflects our commitment to celebrating Western art and heritage through new platforms like The Legacy and the Wilson Art Gallery.” Through striking photography and masterful craftsmanship, the exhibition explores the rhythms of ranch life—from moments of quiet solitude to the intensity of daily labor and the camaraderie forged on the range. The photographers featured have earned the trust of their subjects, offering rare and intimate glimpses into a culture deeply rooted in land stewardship and hard work.
