Artist Ranch Project

Please click here to View a Short Video about Artist Ranch Project

The Artist Ranch Project is an initiative designed to facilitate an interpretation of western heritage and values through contemporary art.

Each year the Stampede funds a small group of selected contemporary artists to spend a weekend in Longview to experience the western way of life on an authentic working ranch. The artists will then create a body of artwork inspired by their ranch experience, culminating in a unique exhibition and sale of work in the Calgary Stampede Western Showcase art show.

Please note that the Stampede will not cover travel/ airline costs to get to Calgary nor accommodation costs outside of the weekend in Longview but will cover all costs for transportation, accommodation and meals from the Friday morning to Sunday afternoon when we get you back to Calgary. 

Applications for 2020 opening in January 2019
In January 2019 we will be accepting applications for the September 2019 Artist Residency to prepare for Stampede 2020. Please check back in January for more details.
