Did you know that an estimated 1 in 4 cowboys in the American West were African American?

Despite their enormous contributions to ranching, cattle driving, music, and Western culture, many of their stories have been left out of history books.

Join us June 13-14 as we celebrate and explore the living legacy of Black cowboys through hands-on activities, storytelling, and community conversation.📖

DON’T FORGET, NEXT WEEK!

Friday, May 15th from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

Step into an afternoon of creation at Illustrated Muse(ings) — a gathering of artists creating in real time.

It's a space where melody meets mark making, rhythm inspires gesture, and the room becomes a living sketchbook. No pressure, just good vibes and the freedom to draw whatever moves you.📓

Bring your sketchbook, drawing tablet or simply your curiosity. Whether you’re doodling, watching or just taking it all in, join us in this shared moment of listening, observing and creating together.🎨

No registration or ticket is needed.
