The Masters of the American West is the premiere annual Western art show, featuring more than 75 of the top, nationally recognized contemporary Western painters and sculptors.
The Masters of the American West is the brainchild of John Geraghty, famed collector of Western art and "Special Master" of the Masters event. The event is also supported by Jay Grodin, long time Chairman of the event along with the Masters Committee whose members sponsor the event year after year.

Known as the "draw box method", a couple of million dollars in artwork will be sold in a couple of hours that evening. Combining those sales with the select works that are auctioned off to the sponsors of the event at Friday night's Artists' Dinner, total sales generally exceed $4,000,000. A portion of each sale is retained by the museum and the Masters event is one of the Autry's most important fundraising events.
