emphasizing that the art and gear show is unique for this part of the country. “We take a lower commission than most galleries and don’t require a bidding process,” he said. “Buyers can meet the artist, pay the posted price, and take the artwork home that day.” Summer Stampede provides a unique mix of art that combines both Western paintings and gear, including spurs, stirrups, bits, belt buckles and jewelry. Campbell said a limited number of tickets are available for the show and must be purchased in advance either online at ranchingheritage.org or by calling 806834-0469. Cost is $85 for the general public and $75 for RHA members.
One of the more than 80 art pieces available for sale at the National Ranching Heritage Center during the 4th Annual Summer Stampede Art and Gear Show includes “Catch the Roan,” an oil painting by Kerrville artist Herman Walker.
