The 19th annual Western States Horse Expo, June 9-11, 2017 in Sacramento, California is proud to present “Art of the Horse,” a juried art show and sale that features the magnificent world of horses in various art mediums.

You could walk through 15 art galleries in San Francisco or Los Angeles and not see one work of art that features horses. But at the Western States Horse Expo, an entire building area is dedicated to beautiful pieces of art, all focused on the horse. Horse people embrace the horse in so many ways — having horses is truly a lifestyle, reflected by clothing, footwear, vehicles, barns, fencing — and artwork that adorns our homes. At the Western States Horse Expo, visitors can stroll through the art show and find a fascinating array of artwork — and it’s all for sale!

This year, in an ongoing effort to draw the finest artists in the country, the Western States Horse Expo is offering a $1,000 cash prize to the winner of Best in Show, and a $250 cash prize to first places in each division.
