The American Museum of Western Art: A Treasure for the People of Colorado (and the world)
Tuesday, October 28 from 1 – 2pm
at Hebrew Educational Alliance
Cost: $5
Presenter: Andrea Keepers, art historian and museum educator
Join us for an illustrated tour of highlights from The American Museum of Western Art – The Anschutz Collection and see how its paintings and sculptures bring our Western heritage to life.
The Museum features more than 600 works by many of the most celebrated names in American art. Nestled in the historic Navarre Building—an architectural treasure with its own Western story—the museum is a true hidden gem. Born of the vision and generosity of Philip Anschutz, the collection traces the sweeping narrative of westward expansion and Western life from the 1820s to today, told through the eyes of more than 180 artists.
While we are unable to provide transportation to and from our events, we’ve compiled a list of options to help you get there [click here].
