2019 Stetson CAA Award
Clark Kelley Price
Of all the awards bestowed upon the CAA artists at the annual Cowboy Artists of America Show, this particular award is especially meaningful. Voted on by the Active CAA members, the artist who is awarded this honor has received a nod of approval from his peers for the best over-all exhibition. The CAA is extremely pleased to have Stetson sponsor this award, as Stetson exemplifies the spirit of the west that the CAA members strive to capture in their art.
