Western Art week in Great Falls MT

[D4570]

Does anyone Come to look/buy, or participate?
It is a big thing here. We used to only have one big one now there are two, The Russell is the other.
Many millions of dollars worth of western artwork are displayed and for sale.
It's fun to look at.
I usually do some overnight security at one of the locations.
I get a GOOOD look at the art 10/12 hours locked in an exhibit arena.

To fit in with that crowd I'll have to dust off my fringed buckskin jacket and Tom Mix hat.

Not really, you can wear whatever you want. One of my favorite artists, who often wins awards there, wears blue jeans and I doubt owns a cowboy hat.

Same for those attending. Some dress up, some don't.

Spent a number of years working security at the Heritage Inn during art week. There were some great artists there and the money flowed freely from the buyers. Those were fun times to be in Great Falls.
