Painting on the Plaza
The Cowgirl invites you to participate in COWGIRL COLORS: A Community Canvas, a large-scale community art installation celebrating the spirit, history, and diversity of Cowgirls. The installation will appear on a temporary wall on Harley Avenue, south of the Museum, and will feature the word “COWGIRL” in bold, 5-foot letters composed of individual 8” x 8” wood panels painted by members of the community, just like you.
Participation is FREE and painting supplies (brushes, acrylic paint, stencils and wood panels) will be provided at no additional charge.
Each panel must connect in some way to cowgirls or cowgirl life, which may include (but is not limited to):
- Women riders and athletes
- Ranching and working cowgirls
- Rodeo, horses, and western traditions
- Strength, resilience, independence, and community
- Historical or contemporary interpretations of cowgirl life
Both realistic and abstract designs are welcome, as long as the connection to the theme is clear. In addition, artwork must be welcoming and family friendly for all ages; The Cowgirl reserves the right to exclude any panel that is deemed inappropriate. Limit 1 panel per person, while supplies last.
