On May 25, prior to the show’s formal opening, the museum will host an opening event that will include a cocktail reception. That will be followed by several other events that will be timed around the opening of the exhibition. On May 27 there will be a meet-and-greet event with Michael Duchemin, museum president and CEO, and Liz Jackson, the museum’s vice president. That will be followed by a ticketed suite of events that begins with a sponsor luncheon, curator’s talk and VIP tour with curator Emily Wilson. The following day, May 28, will feature family art activities and demonstrations from CAA members.

Then, on July 23, the museum will celebrate National Day of the Cowboy, a family friendly festival with educational programming, arts, crafts, performances and artist demonstrations. The following month, on August 27, the museum will host “The Lessons of Our Fathers,” a one-day symposium featuring artist presentations featuring today’s top Western art scholars and Cowboy Artists of America artists. In addition to these key dates, the Briscoe will present a wide array of artists’ talks, presentations and demonstrations by many of the Cowboy Artists of America throughout the summer.
