New Art Exhibit Reflects the American West

The latest exhibit to adorn the walls of the Steamboat Art Museum offers a glimpse into the untouched landscapes of the West and traditional ways of Native American life from the turn of the 19th century. For possibly the first time in history, the photographic works of Roland Reed, Edward Curtis, A.G. and Augusta Wallihan and L.A. Huffman are being displayed under one roof in a show titled “Portrayals of the American West.”

Exhibit to Include a Variety of Works and Styles

In collaboration with the Museum of Northwest Colorado, Tread of Pioneers Museum, the Roland W. Reed Gallery in Steamboat and a handful of local private collectors, items in the show include digital prints from scans of Wallihan’s glass plates, photogravures by Curtis, silver gelatin prints from Reed’s glass plates, plus original signed prints, unpublished prints and contact prints.

The exhibition runs until Saturday, April 2, 2022
