About the Exhibition
Stories From the Saddle features the variety of ways saddle-makers and riders have elevated form and function into an art that illuminates the people and histories of the West. The exhibition brings out the unique and extraordinary stories found in objects often regarded as simple, utilitarian tools.
Stories from the Saddles is supported by the Kenneth T. and Eileen L. Norris Foundation and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts and Culture.
