New for the 2023, the Greeley Stampede is partnering with the Greeley Art Association to continue the tradition of showcasing western art during the annual community celebration. The 23rd Annual Stampede Western Art Exhibition and Sale will feature nationally acclaimed artists, returning Legacy artists, local and youth artists. The 13-day exhibit during the Greeley Stampede, June 22-July 4, 2023, is included with park admission and will be open during park hours until 9pm daily in the Island Grove Events Center lobby.

“The new partnership with the Greeley Art Association is a win/win as it helps our local artists be able to showcase their talents and they will provide additional support to continue the legacy of the Stampede Western Art Show,” commented Stampede General Chair Julie Jensen. “The art show is great as it provides an opportunity to see top notch western art in person and proceeds of sold art will support education in Weld County through our Foundation.”

This year’s exhibit will feature twenty-one nationally acclaimed Legacy artists who have previously been a part of the Stampede western art show and more than forty new local and regional artists who submitted artwork to be juried for selection.

10am-4pm

This will be a great workshop in a magnificent setting. Surrounded by the set-up activities of the Stampede, there will be lots going on. No parking fee required yet. You will be among the first to see the Stampede Art Show. JR Monks will demonstrate painting in oil and watercolor in the morning. Bring your art supplies of choice to have time to paint in the afternoon.

Join western artist JR Monks in his work-shop “Western Portraits – Character and Grit”.
The workshop will be among the beautiful art of the Stampede Western Art Exhibition. The show opens for the first day at 4:30 PM. Bring your lunch. Food booths will not be open yet on the grounds of the Stampede.

You will walk away from this workshop with a basic tool kit of knowledge to take your own art further, and better than that you will know how to continue to grow as an artist because the process of learning about por-traiture will strengthen your basic skills of drawing and painting.

JR is a 4th generation rancher and literally grew up with horses. He has studied with some of the best western artists in the country and believes whole heartedly in sharing the western heritage with others.
