American Art Awards Names The Best Gallery In Montana: Cawdrey Gallery

The American Art Awards has announced its selection of the 20 Best Galleries in USA for the year 2023, with Cawdrey Gallery receiving the award for the best gallery in Montana. The board bases decisions on years established, industry reputation, online interest, location, size, aesthetics, socially relevant exhibits, motivational and educational programs, represented artists and references, among other criteria.

AMERICAN ART AWARDS: “Each year we pick a variety of galleries in appearance and genres, and this year is no exception. In our Top 20 for 2023, we chose the largest gallery in the Southwest and the largest exhibition space in Florida and the largest in Austin, Texas. An Atlanta organization specializing in black art won in Georgia, a bold Vegas pop hotspot won in Nevada, and museums were chosen for Kentucky and South Dakota. We also selected one of New York’s only non-profit galleries, downtown Indianapolis’ premier event venue space and an enormous Kansas institution which is fulltime home to 35 artists. We decided on several galleries owned by notable painters, some women-run, and some specializing in Western impressionism, others in abstract, others in realism. Most our Top 20 represent contemporary paintings, sculpture, digital art and photography — but we do have businesses exhibiting old master works from Europe, Asia and the Americas.”

AMERICAN ART AWARDS: “Renowned artist Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey, husband Steve, and son Morgan opened their first gallery in Bigfork, Montana to facilitate and inspire western art experiences with collectors, artists, and community. In 2017 Cawdrey Gallery relocated to Whitefish and expanded to represent more than 30 artists working in over 10 different media. The spirit of the West is as dynamic and diverse as ever at Cawdrey Gallery, which showcases preeminent Western Art in a range of subject matter and mediums from sublimely painted vistas to animated sculptures.”

Location: 206 Lupfer Avenue, Whitefish, MT 59937 (across from Ciao Mambo)
