Art of the Cowgirl, hosted again this year January 17-21, 2024, at Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre in Queen Creek, Arizona, has become a western phenomenon with horse lovers and fans of all things western alike.
It’s known as a time to “celebrate, gather, and connect Western women around horses and Western art,” and was founded by the late Tammy Pate, who was honored on Sunday.
