Rotating Gallery

The 101 Gallery is used primarily to display Western art collections and other specially created exhibits that pertain to the sport of rodeo. Exhibits in this gallery are changed at least twice a year.

The current exhibit on display in our Rotating 101 Gallery is “Images of the West.”

On October 23^rd, the ProRodeo Hall of Fame opened a new exhibit in their 101 Gallery. The exhibit will feature the work of Carlin Kielcheski, a US Air Force officer who used his spare time to develop his painting and drawing skills. Kielcheski joined the Colorado Springs Watercolor Society after his military retirement. His favorite subjects were ranching and rodeo scenes. His paintings will be on sale through the duration of the exhibit.

Also featured in the gallery will be the photographs of Robert “Bob” Kisken. Kisken spent most of his life as a school math and government teacher. Kisken’s favorite hobby was photographing rodeo, ranch, and farm life. After retirement, he lived in various western towns where he spent many hours photographing those scenes.

The exhibition will run through April 2025. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9am-5pm.
