The Mission of Cowboy True is to educate the region about the honor, art, and beauty of the cowboy’s daily life. Cowboy True is a celebration to honor working cowboys and the artwork that comes from their daily lives.

In 2019, Cowboy True returned to its roots at The Forum. Cowboy True was originally inspired as an effort to raise awareness and funding for The Forum, formerly the home of The Woman’s Forum, which has a long association with the women and families of the North Texas cattle industry.

Categories include: bits, spurs, buckles, jewelry, gun/knife engraving, saddles, boots, trappings/gear, photography, paintings, drawings, sculptures, carving, and cowboy cartoons.

Events for Cowboy True include:
-Friday night artists’ reception and opening
-Saturday daytime activities and exhibit open to the public
-Saturday night dinner, auction, and entertainment

All proceeds go to The Forum to assist with programming and mission fulfillment. For more information, call 940-766-3347 or email cowboytrue@artscouncilwf.org
