Only the finest master artisans—those who transform wood, carved leather, bone, beaded textiles, antler, silver, and iron into breathtaking functional art—earn a place in the prestigious BWH Legacy Artisans’ Group. Selected by an anonymous jury, these craftsmen and craftswomen must demonstrate exceptional skill and an unwavering commitment to the western tradition. Their artistry is showcased in the renowned Legacy Artisans’ Gallery, with many pieces also featured in the Western Design Museum & Archive. Beyond exhibition, these artisans bring their expertise to life as artists-in-residence at BWH’s Design Center, where they inspire and educate through live workshops and demonstrations.
