American Plains Artists Show Continues at Fort Concho National Historic Landmark

The American Plains Artists Juried Exhibit and Sale is now going on at Fort Concho National Historic Landmark until August 2.

All art is for sale with purchases benefiting the artists, the American Plains Artists Association and Fort Concho. The show is located near the intersection of Flipper and Burgess Streets on the fort’s northeast corner.

This year’s show features sixty-three paintings and seven sculptures from forty-one artists of the American Plains Artists group, representing fourteen states.

Organized in Denver City, Texas, in 1982 by a small group of artists, the APA promotes all art and sculpture works that depicts the nation’s Great Plains. This marks the 41st annual show and the sixth time since 2016 the show has come to San Angelo and Fort Concho.

Themes covered by this year’s show include cowboys, Native Americans, wildlife of the Great Plains, farming and ranching scenes, natural vistas, and characters of the Old West.
