Phippen Museum of Western Art
Prescott · Prescott, Arizona
The Phippen Museum of Western Art honors the legacy of George Phippen — a founding president of the Cowboy Artists of America and one of the defining painters of mid-20th century Western American art — while maintaining a living program dedicated to the ongoing tradition he helped establish. Permanent galleries present Phippen's own bronzes and paintings alongside artists he influenced, while rotating exhibitions bring contemporary Western painters and sculptors to Prescott throughout the year. The annual Phippen Museum Western Art Show & Sale, held each Memorial Day weekend, is one of the most respected Western art markets in the country. Essential for collectors and enthusiasts of the American Western fine art tradition.
