OWEN EVENTS, ART AWARDS RECEIVED AND ITEMS OF INTEREST
NEW!
"His Band of Mares "
SOON
Bill’s website is currently under construction so we can start offering his latest Limited Edition
Giclée reproductions on canvas. Please be patient and keep checking back for the addition
of a Giclée page, featuring “His Band of Mares ” and other exciting new images. We will take
orders for them online, and you’ll be able to pay by credit card or cash through PayPal.
Time will not allow Bill to participate
in all of the shows and events he receives invitations to, as he is not a very prolific artist. Two shows he consistently participates in are the Prix de West Invitational and the Cowboy Artists of America
annual shows, and he does his largest pieces and bodies of work for them.
Participation in other shows is determined annually and this page is typically updated each January. Listed
below are some of the shows/events known at this time which Bill
plans to provide art for. The events with an asterisk (*) next
to the date indicates he also plans to attend the show.
May 17, 2008 through September 2012

Bill is extremely honored to have been selected as one of only two contemporary artists invited to have a piece of their art on display in the long-running, traveling exhibition, The Horse; opening in New York City and traveling to four other locations including the Abu Dhabi Cultural Center, United Arab Emirates and the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Bill is grateful to the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville, TX for loaning his 1973 piece, No Place for a Gunsel from their permanent collection. If you're interested in seeing this exhibition, click on the link to The Horse. |

Cowboy Artists of America 43rd Annual Sale and Exhibition
Phoenix Art Museum
1625 North Central Avenue
Phoenix, AZ 85004-1685
Contact Kelly Whitton at 602-307-2007 for information or go online to order tickets at:
www.mensartscouncil.com.
Each and every year this exhibition is made possible by the Men's Arts Council, a non-profit organization who supports the programs and activities of the Phoenix Art Museum through three unique programs, of which the CAA annual show is the major event they produce. The efforts of the Men's Arts Council enable the group to make annual contributions to the Museum's operating budget, to financially sponsor exhibitions and to fund two separate endowments: the Western American Art Endowment Fund and the Men's Arts Council Sculpture Endowment. These endowments exist to fund art acquisition for the Museum's collection and to foster art education. As of 2001, MAC's cumulative financial contribution to Phoenix Art Museum exceeded $5 million.
This exhibition will hang until November 16, 2008.

BELOW YOU'LL FIND A LISTING OF THE AWARDS BILL HAS RECEIVED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AT THE ANNUAL COWBOY ARTISTS OF AMERICA SHOW. OTHER MAJOR AWARDS BILL HAS RECEIVED ARE DETAILED IN HIS BIO ON THE ABOUT PAGE OF THIS WEBSITE. ALTHOUGH BILL DOES NOT CREATE HIS ART WITH THE THOUGHT IN MIND TO WIN AN AWARD, WHEN HE DOES, IT IS A WONDERFUL VALIDATION OF HIS HARD WORK. THEREFORE, BILL HOPES HIS CREATIONS WILL EARN MORE AWARDS IN THE FUTURE, AND THEY WILL BE ADDED TO THIS LOCATION OR HIS BIO AS HE REALIZES THE FRUITS OF HIS LABORS.
