Art Lives in West
Texas: The History of the Lubbock Art Association and of Art Activities
in Lubbock and 21 Counties, 1951-2003 Art lives on the
South Plains of West Texas in large part because many of the pioneers in
the late 19th century appreciated and encouraged art in its many forms.
Art also lives because of the exciting variety of art organizations that
have emerged through the years. “Art Lives in West
Texas” tells the stories of 50 plus years of the Lubbock Art
Association; patrons who have given their time and finances; the
influence of the four area universities; and the passion and
perseverance of a hardy – and “hearty” – group of talented,
curious and benevolent artists who celebrate the gamut of visual media. 465 pages, paperback. Retail value $19.95. Item #3806 Sale Price $5.95 |

Rough Riders: Hawaii's Paniolo
and Their Stories Paniolo have ridden the misty mountain jungles, high plains and rugged volcanic slopes of remote Hawaii for more than 175 years, adapting the craft of Western cowboys to the unique conditions of the islands - from swimming cattle to boats for shipment, to dodging lava tubes. Coming from a rainbow of ethnic groups that made Hawaii their home, these brave men of the islands challenged wild bulls, wild horses and wild lands in pursuit of success and adventure. In "Rough
Riders," Hawaii's cowboys share tales of old Hawaii in their own
words, while local writer Ilima Loomis explains how ranching developed
in the distant islands of the Pacific. Full of color photographs. Sale Price $12.00
