The idea for the Western Gallery sprung from the idea that an art museum in West Texas should have a collection of Western-themed art. Not only does this gallery offer beautiful works in oil, pencil, pen and ink, bronze, and more, but it helps to tell the story of the history of Texas and the American West. The Western gallery features work from such artists as L.B. Porter, Bill Owen, and Rogelio Madero, and many others of local and national renown.
