We wish to thank Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, for much of the information on this page. We share information and images with Wikipedia. We also wish to thank the Phippen Museum for some of our information. The Mission Statement of the Phippen Museum is to preserve and exhibit museum quality Western art and educate the public about the unique heritage, history, legends and influence of art of the American West. George Phippen, the first President of the Cowboy Artists of America, passed away in 1966, leaving behind a group of artists interested in creating a facility that specifically represented artists in the American West. Then in 1974, the George Phippen Memorial Foundation was formed to create a centralized venue that would fully support Western Art. With the assistance of a dedicated core of volunteers, the George Phippen Memorial Foundation began organizing fundraisers for the creation of their museum. The first annual Memorial Day Show was presented at the Prescott Public Library in 1974, featuring the finest of western sculptors and painters. For ten years, this show was the only financial means of the Foundation. In the early 80s the James Family Trust donated a parcel of land to the George Phippen Memorial Foundation enabling the construction of the present day Phippen Museum; and its opening on October 13, 1984. The Phippen Museum has an annual Phippen Museum Western Art Show and Sale that is held on Memorial Day Weekend in the Courthouse Plaza in Prescott, Arizona.
