The mission of Cowboy True is to educate the region about the honor, art and beauty of the cowboy’s daily life. Cowboy True is a celebration to honor working cowboys and the artwork that comes from their daily lives. In 2019, Cowboy True returns to its roots at The Forum. Cowboy True was originally inspired as an effort to raise awareness and funding for The Forum, formerly the home of The Woman’s Forum, which has a long association with the women and families of the North Texas cattle industry. Categories include: bits, spurs, buckles, jewelry, gun/knife engraving, saddles, boots, trappings/gear, photography, paintings, drawings, sculptures, carving and cowboy cartoons. Friday night events include the artists’ reception and opening, Saturday will see daytime activities and the exhibit open to the public, while Saturday evening will consist of a night dinner, live auction and entertainment. All proceeds go to The Forum to assist with programming and mission fulfillment.
