In an effort to protect the community from the spread of the COVID 19 virus, Sul Ross State University has closed the campus and the Museum of the Big Bend to visitors until further notice. Additionally, university sponsored events have been cancelled including the 34th Annual Trappings of Texas opening weekend of events.

Though we will not be able to meet together, the Museum of the Big Bend will host the 2020 Trappings of Texas Online Exhibit and Sale! The sale will run April 16 through August 2. As works are sold and shipped by the artists, they will have new works available for purchase on this website—creating an evolving, new show and sale on a continuing basis. How cool is that?!

Considered one of the best Western art and custom cowboy gear exhibits and sales in the country, Trappings of Texas showcases the work of both up-and-coming and well-established artists. Please know your purchases help to support our artists and the Museum of the Big Bend. We look forward to working with you!
