Dedicated to ensuring that the roots of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ are never
forgotten, the Western Art Committee is responsible for acquiring superior artwork that
represents Western culture. In 1998, Western Art Committee Chairman Jerry Coleman took his
job to heart and set out on a mission to preserve the Show’s rodeo events in art form. He scoured
galleries throughout the Hill Country looking for artists who could make his vision a reality.
Legacy and leadership are what these Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ outgoing vice presidents
share in common. With the close of the 2006 Show, they pass the reins on to a new generation of
Show vice presidents. Cumulatively, they represent a variety of committees, inspiring stories, memories of
challenges overcome to improve the Show, and experiences that remind us all why we volunteer for the Houston
Livestock Show and Rodeo.
