Western Art Week is Buzzing with the Return of The Russell Sponsored by the C.M. Russell Museum

Get your bidding paddles ready and save the date, March 14-16, 2024, because The Russell is back! After much  anticipation, The Russell (the premiere fundraising event for the C.M. Russell Museum) is making its long-awaited  return to Western Art Week in Great Falls, Montana. While you may know it as the event inspired by one-and-only  storyteller and cowboy artist Charlie Russell, around here, we like to refer to it as western art’s most memorable  gathering – this year with the lowest buyers premium in the industry!  

WEEKEND AT A GLANCE 

Gather with friends old and new at the Art Preview Party, where you can get an exclusive look at the artwork to be  sold at First Strike and The Russell Live Auction. Glimpse into the mind and talent of revered artists at Art in Action,  the Museum’s signature variation of a traditional “quick draw.” Go head-to-head at First Strike, an auction solely  dedicated to the works of contemporary artists. Then make sure not to miss the crowning event of Western Art Week  – The Russell Live Auction. Featuring both significant historical works and distinguished contemporary art, this  exhilarating night is a must-attend for the Western art collector.  

Mark your calendars and join us for three days of exquisite art, lively fun, and a competitive bidding atmosphere.  Tickets will be available for purchase on January 8, 2024. To reserve your seat and find a complete schedule of events,  visit TheRussellSale.org or call (406) 727-1939.
