Western Trappings on The Llano 2020

Western Trappings on The Llano is a juried, international exhibit and sale of original fine art and custom western gear held inside the Llano County Historical Museum. The exhibit promotes western culture and heritage and celebrates artists who have captured the grandeur of the West. All work displayed will be for sale to the public for the duration of the exhibit. A live, public auction of custom western gear and fine art, donated by participating artists, is held during the event.

This juried exhibition is open to all artists. Original fine art and custom western gear in contemporary and traditional styles are welcomed, with particular encouragement for painting and artwork showing western lifestyles or landscapes of the Texas Hill Country. Submissions may include two-dimensional and three-dimensional work, including artistic functional pieces, silver work, jewelry, leatherwork, spurs, and buckles. Two-dimensional work cannot exceed 44 inches in its largest dimension including frame. Three-dimensional work must not exceed 84 inches tall with no more than a 20 square foot footprint and maximum weight of 200 pounds. Artists may submit up to three works of art per application. All work must be original and for sale.
