Rules of Sale

Exhibition and Sale Information

The 2024 Traditional Cowboy Arts Association Exhibition & Sale will open Saturday, September 28 at 5:30 p.m. at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Each attendee will receive a ballot book containing one ballot for each art piece in the exhibition. Each ballot book contains an assigned number registered to the purchaser of that ballot book.

The purchaser has from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. to drop their signed and numbered ballot into the box by the piece they wish to purchase. At 6:30 p.m. a salesperson will draw two names and post them on a large card near each work. The first name posted will have 20 minutes to claim the art from the salesperson and pick up the bill of sale. If the first person chosen has not claimed the work of art, then the second person becomes eligible to purchase the work for the next 20 minutes. Once the sale is confirmed, the seller will write SOLD on the large card. At 7:10 p.m., unsold art is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Paying for Your Purchase

Only the person whose ballot book number matches the name posted can pay for the art. All Art purchases require payment in full the night of the sale.

Forms of Payment

Checks are to be made payable to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards also are accepted, but will incur a fee of 3% on their total invoice.

*Please Note: Buyers shipping/picking up artwork in the state of Oklahoma must pay Oklahoma state and local sales tax (8.625%). Change in shipping address post-sale may result in additional sales tax fees at buyer’s expense. Sales tax exemptions must be presented at the time of purchase. Sales tax exemptions will be honored, and buyers must present proof of exemption at the time of purchase.

After Opening Weekend

All art will remain on exhibit until the close of the exhibition November 17, 2024, by which time each purchaser must have completed shipping arrangements with the shipping coordinator. Items will be shipped to the buyer according to agreed-upon arrangements.
