A Good Ride: Arts and Traditions of the Attica Rodeo
July 30 - September 24, 2010
Come experience the “west” in western New York this summer with our featured exhibit, A Good Ride: Arts and Traditions of the Attica Rodeo. Begun in 1957 by some enterprising teenagers from Attica and Chaffee, the Attica Rodeo has become an important community tradition, as well
as one of the best rodeos in the northeast. Now celebrating its 53rd year, the rodeo brings together cowboys and cowgirls, broncs and barrel racers, families and fans from near and far during the first weekend of August. We have been honored to meet many of these people over the last few years and hear their stories, see their skills and artistry, and learn about rodeo’s place in our local and national culture. We are happy to now share this “ride” with you in the ongoing tradition of American rodeo.
Visit our online gallery to see pictures from this exhibit and the opening reception.
