'09 Edition Adds a Few Twists

The stark mountain peaks and inspiring valleys of Yellowstone Country provide a magnificent backdrop for a celebration of the arts in Cody-a lively city with genuine frontier character and a warm spirit of hospitality toward artists and their patrons.

Cody is home to a gifted community of western artists, a supportive network of well-established fine art galleries, and the renowned Buffalo Bill Historical Center-the hub of activity for the 28th annual Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale.

Among this year's highlights, the Buffalo Bill Art Show has named T.D. Kelsey as its seventh annual Honored Artist. T.D. Kelsey is one of the most talented sculptors in the West today and the Buffalo Bill Art Show is proud he agreed to be the Honored Artist for 2009. His work will be stellar and his lecture during the show will be something not to be missed. You will easily recognize T.D. and his signature cowboy hat, boots, and big smile!

The 2009 Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale will honor the tradition of having co-Honored Chairs, Ernie & Marge Goppert, who are Cody residents with a long history of support for the show, the Historical Center, and its fine arts collection.

As always, we round out our traditional lineup with artist demonstrations throughout town and a tour of artist studios. Whether you're a new or returning guest, we hope you'll treasure your time with us at the annual Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale.
