Mission

The American Art Invitational was conceived as a community event—a coming together of artists, galleries, collectors and students in a special presentation of works by the top contemporary masters of realism. This year we are celebrating a show of small works, entitled "Small Gems," December 3 thru December 31, 2011.

The invited artists are masters in the field of contemporary realism. Like their predecessors, they display a foundation of strong training in the techniques of draftsmanship and composition. Using different subject matter such as landscapes,figure, wildlife, western and still life, they give us an understanding of present as well as a sense of history. This year, the artist roster includes award-winning painters and sculptors from California to New York and Texas to Montana.
