Phippen Western Art Show
Every Memorial Day weekend, the Phippen Museum hosts one of the largest outdoor western art sales in the country on the courthouse square in Prescott. This enormous event takes many volunteers to help with: booth sitting, helping artists set up, traffic control, cashiers, runners, sales, answering questions, hospitality, and many more opportunities. There is truly something for everyone!
