Opening Reception October 4th, 5-8pm

The A.R. Mitchell Museum of Western Art is excited to present our third year of this unique show featuring
original art by 40+ nationwide artists across multiple disciplines. Each artist personally selected an image
from the Museum’s collection of historic photographs, mostly taken by Mitchell himself, as source material
for their individual piece.
To date, much of Mitchell’s photography remains unseen by the public. Two years ago, literally
thousands of images were discovered in an unattended part of the Museum’s storage area, igniting the idea
for this show. Mitchell’s photographs that he took from the 1930s through the mid 1950s, were used as
research for his own illustrations and paintings. The Museum continues its ambitious mission to archive this
massive collection which offers a goldmine of regional history featuring a diverse group of people, places and
scenarios.
The show will display an enlarged print of the chosen photograph together with the artist’s work so
that viewers may enjoy a photo-journalistic exhibit of the true Old West next to contemporary
interpretations of those times.

Opening Reception is October 4, 2024, 5-8pm; show runs through December 31, 2024
