The artists are selected by a jury of design experts & create their best work as they compete for limited invitations at the Western Design Conference. These artists bring a quality and interpretation to western design that is sought after by collectors and designers worldwide. Creative, original and innovative works cannot be produced in volume. This Exhibition + Sale celebrates those who have chosen to forgo mass production in order to create one of a kind, museum quality functional art pieces that bring the spirit of the West into the mainstream marketplace. Because the Western Design Conference is widely recognized as the nation’s premiere exhibition + sale of western design it consistently attracts the most talented artists working with wood, metal, leather and textiles.
Themes surrounding Cody's pioneer and Cowboy and Western history are common in the cultural events and activities in the area. The Buffalo Bill Historical Center is a large and modern facility located near the center of the city, and contains large collections, and is a favorite stopping point for tourists passing through the town, on their way to or from Yellowstone. During the summer, a re-enactment of a wild-west shoot-out takes place next to the Irma Hotel, another historical site still open for business with a hotel and restaurant, which forms the nucleus of the town.
In the months of June, July, and August, Cody has a rodeo every night. It also hosts the Cody Stampede Rodeo, a large event centered around the weekend of July 4th.
