The American Plains Artists was organized in 1982 by a small group of artists showing together in Denver City, Texas. It has expanded into a non-profit organization with a growing international membership of signature and associate members. Its goal has remained consistent: "To educate the public through realistic and representational artworks in traditional media about the American Plains, including the landscape, wildlife, peoples and way of life in historical and modern times."
