State of the Art: California

February 2026 Issue Special Feature


The Golden State is calling in the February issue of Western Art Collector. Join us as we go as far west as the West will let us when we return to California. Known for its rich beauty across a variety of biomes, California not only has deserts and sage-strewn valleys, but also dense forests, snow-topped peaks and an enchanting coastline. From the large cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, to the smaller destinations of Carmel-by-the-Sea and Palm Desert, the state of California boasts a diverse array of Western events, museums, galleries and talented artists. Join us this February in our State of the Art: California feature as we highlight this Western art hub that has a long history that should excite collectors.
