Cowboy Photographers and Artists International (CPAI) is the next stage in the growth
of a professional association for cowboy, western, and rodeo photographers and artists.
When its antecedent, Cowboy Artists and Photographers of America was formed, one of the issues with
which we were concerned was the place of photography in this art genre. In addition, there was a question of
photographers and artists from outside of America who wished to be associated with the organization.
Over the past few years, there has been a strong growth of interest in the photography art
form as well as the more "traditional" painting, drawing, and sculpture. In addition, there has
been a parallel growth of interest form the international market. It is hoped that the
changes made in the organization, both in its name which reflects our general scope of concern,
will allow us to better serve the needs of our community.
The story of the American West is integral to the story of the United State's of America's
development. But other countries in our world have had similar stories to tell, and in some respects,
the story of men and women, and their families, working together to form and a develop a strong
society is a major link between all of us.
Both photography, since its historically recent development, and art have always been the dominant vehicle through
which people have learned.

When you come into Las Vegas for the NFR, or for any other reason, you have to
have a meal at the Triple George Grill, located at 210 N. 3rd Street in Downtown LV.
From personal experience, I can tell you that the food, service, and interest in the
restaurant's guests is superlative...real "old time Las Vegas" joe c.
