INDIANAPOLIS — Admirers of art inspired by the American West will converge on the Eiteljorg Museum in September for the 16th annual Quest for the West Art Show and Sale, one of the best opportunities in the nation to purchase Western artworks and interact with the artists. A highlight of this year’s Quest is a special guest, Academy Award-winning actor Wes Studi (Cherokee). The weekend sale Sept. 10-11 will be followed by a month-long public exhibition of Quest art at the museum.
Quest for the West features works by 51 top artists in the genre, and it brings together artists and the collectors who treasure their paintings and sculptures. Though the 2020 Quest for the West sale had to be held virtually, this year will mark a return to the Eiteljorg’s familiar in-person sale format for the first time since 2019, when nearly 300 collectors attended the event.
Tickets are available for $550-$80 for nonmembers and must be purchased in advance online at eiteljorg.org. The museum is located at 500 W. Washington St. in White River State Park.
