Will Ersland shows

Below are listed the upcoming shows where I'll be exhibiting my paintings. This page will be updated as new shows come online.

The Cheyenne Frontier Days 43rd Western Art Show & Sale is held in conjunction with "The Daddy of 'Em All Rodeo" in Cheyenne, Wyoming.  It's a very large Art Exhibition of nationally recognized Western Art talent in painting and sculpture. Held in conjunction with the Rodeo, the Art Show draws a huge crowd in July every year and the city swells, more than doubling its population

To be selected as a Participating Artist in this Show, one has to be invited by the CFD Museum's Art Show Committee, submitting your artistic credentials: You must show that you are a consistent competing artist in Western Art Shows out West and have a strong showing of the highest quality including art show blue ribbon winnings and sales. Therefore the annual event is by invitation only for the artists who must show and sell successfully for three years and then are accepted as permanent exhibitors. The goal is the mission of preserving our National Western Art Legacy. Proceeds of the commissions over the years have raised more than $3 Million to support the CFD Museum's day-to-day operations and programs.

Racing Blood painting.

2020's Show was a personal success for me having sold Racing Blood (above) 30" x 20" - $6,000 one of four pieces in the show that year. 

My artwork has begun on next year's Summer Show as well as paintings for upcoming Fall Art Shows including the American Academy of Equine Artists in Virginia of which I am a permanent exhibiting artist. The Mountain Oyster Western Art Show in Tucson, Arizona in November is always of particular interest to me since we see old friends and engage with fellow artists.  It's been an annual event for the past ten years for me!
