CFD Old West Museum Announces Ability to Purchase Art Through Art Show Website

The CFD Old West Museum and the Western Art Show Committee are pleased to announce that Jump the Gun for ticket holders only begins July 9 on https://cfdartshow.com/.

All artwork purchases are made on a first come, first serve basis. All available artwork on the website will be priced at Jump the Gun (JTG) (25%) + $160, the cost of a ticket. Ticket holders will receive a coupon code to remove the added ticket price to each piece of art. JTG buyers receive an additional tax-deduction on top of the standard 35% rate during regular and public buy. From July 9 until July 16 at 7 p.m. MDT, buyers may jump the gun either online or call during the Museum at (307) 778-7289.

Kickoff for the 40^th anniversary of the Western Art Show will be on Thursday, July 16 with the Virtual Opening Reception on Facebook Live with appearances from our artists, and some special guests. While the opening is free to view on Facebook, audience members who wish to purchase art during the event must purchase a ticket to the event.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the Museum relies heavily on donations, admission to the Museum, events admission, and art sales. Ticket sales alone for the Western Art Show & Sale normally raise enough funds for the Museum to pay for nearly a month of operating expenses.

Since 1981, the Committee has raised over $3 million in support of the CFD Old West Museum’s day-to-day operations through the Western Art Show. Today, this high-caliber art show has become the Museum’s largest fundraiser, supporting nearly a quarter of our operating expenses.

For additional information please contact Art Show Coordinator Cameron Green at cameron.green@oldwestmuseum.org or by calling (307) 778-7289.
