Hello!
The CAA's were thrilled to have sold $600,000 more than last year for a total of almos
t $1.6 Million! If you weren't able to join us this year, you might like to know that the attendance to many of the the events were the highest ever in Oklahoma and the sales for only 20 active and 7 emeritus artists averaged nearly $60,000 each. With the Traditional Cowboy Arts Association (TCAA)'s sales, the total was close to $2 million.
Helping us celebrate this year, were the
Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, who had one of every single of the 77 historical member's pieces of art in their show, along with the current members' catalog pieces. They also sold $90,000 of the men's catalog drawings. New Honorary CAA Member, Booth Director, Seth Hopkins surprised the group with a $41,575 donation to the CAA-Joe Beeler Foundation.
The CA's 50th Anniversary Events are not over yet!
Please help us round out our coast to coast travels with a very special event sponsored by
