To mark the 20th anniversary of the event that sparked the museum’s creation, the Briscoe Western Art Museum is expanding its signature exhibition and sale with a first: a hybrid event that includes online and in-person celebrations. The Night of Artists includes the viewing and sale of nearly 250 new works of painting, sculpture and mixed media by over 75 of today’s leading contemporary Western artists.

The opening events end with the Grand Live Auction on March 27. Once the opening events conclude, Night of Artists continues as a public exhibition and sale, March 28-May 9 at the Briscoe.

Night of Artists was created 20 years ago to celebrate Western art and the Briscoe would not exist without the artistic seeds that Night of Artists planted. The effort and funds to establish the museum grew from Night of Artists, making it a vital piece of the museum’s history as well as its signature annual event. Night of Artists serves as the primary fundraiser for the museum, benefiting the Briscoe’s full array of exhibitions, engagement, and educational programs throughout the year.
