Thirteen exhibitions. New perspectives. A season that challenges what Western art can be.
Altamira Fine Art returns to Scottsdale for its 2026–2027 exhibition season with an ambitious lineup of solo and group exhibitions celebrating the artists redefining the American West. From contemporary interpretations of Western iconography to bold experiments in abstraction, landscape, and cultural identity, the season brings together established names, rising talent, and unexpected perspectives.
The program features thirteen exhibitions running from November through April, including solo presentations by Geoffrey Gersten, David Frederick Riley, Jared Sanders, Dyana Hesson, Ben Steele, Miles Glynn, Jivan Lee, Kenneth Peloke, Maura Allen, and Duke Beardsley. Three curated group exhibitions explore the evolving identity of the West, its cultural history, and the next generation of artists shaping its future.
This is not the West of yesterday. It is the West being made now.

From the familiar icons of Western culture to the artists transforming them, Altamira Fine Art's 2026–2027 Scottsdale season is a celebration of artistic evolution.
Each exhibition contributes to a larger conversation about the West: its history, its contradictions, its beauty, and its future. Together, they reflect a gallery program built around a simple conviction: Western art is not a fixed tradition, but a continually evolving creative movement.
We invite collectors, artists, and visitors to join us throughout the season as new exhibitions open and new perspectives emerge.
