Celebrating

The Cowgirl

Each year brings a fresh palette of presenters, Master Artists, competitors, and vendors. The 2025 event will include original elements of Art of the Cowgirl as well as the addition of several new highlights. Art of the Cowgirl will feature female makers, including master artists, silversmiths, braiders, saddle makers, and horsewomen. The event will not only provide entertainment and honor women of the West, but also facilitate fellowships to individuals to further their knowledge with master artists in the trade of choice. The contributions of these cowgirl makers are truly worth celebrating and we look forward to sharing them with you.

The Betty Kunesh

Legacy Award

Betty Kunesh was not only the matriarch of her family but also the true inspiration behind Art of the Cowgirl. Grandma Betty instilled a love of horses, art, and the Western way of life in Tammy Pate, AOTC’s founder, from a young age.

In her 101 years Betty influenced the lives of so many teaching girls to cook, sew, paint and appreciate good horses.

This award is to be given to a woman who has been nominated by someone they have influenced. This award is to honor those special women who are not always in the limelight; the women who work hard their whole lives, leading by example, embracing fellowship and community.
