37th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering
1 Day Only
January 30 6am-7pm

Silent Auction- Now Live!
The annual Silent Auction has gone digital, and is live for bidding! 

Our yearly Silent Auction that accompanies the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering is never to be missed, and this year is no different. Though we won’t be gathering in our usual in-person format, everyone will still have their shot at rounding up some one-of-a-kind artworks, jewelry, western wear, and more. Jack Malotte, the artist behind this year’s prismatic poster, has seeded the auction with his original artwork, ‘Public Lands’ (2020). Bidding and participation in the Silent Auction is open to all.
