The Academy of Western Artists
The Academy of Western Artist is a dedicated group formed to recognize and honor outstanding individuals who, through their accomplishments, preserve and perpetuate the traditions, values and heritage of the American Cowboy. The Academy of Western Artists is a group of people actively involved in the contemporary cowboy heritage movement who wish to give recognition to those who excel at writing and performing traditional and contemporary western music and poetry, those who with skill and artistry manufacture the gear of the cowboy trade, those who continue the time-honored arts of campfire and chuckwagon cookery, those who expand and refine the music of western swing, and those working cowboys who compete in the sport of ranch rodeo.
