Support The TCAA
"The artisans of the TCAA have elevated their respective crafts to previously unseen standards of excellence. In doing so, they've triggered a resurgence of interest in quality, handmade saddles, bits, spurs, rawhide and Western silver. As mentors, they've inspired the next generation of craftsmen, ensuring a future for these unique cowboy trades."
- A.J. Mangum, Former editor Western Horseman, Current editorial director 'The Frontier Project', contributing editor 'The Cowboy Way', free lance writer.
The Traditional Cowboy Arts Association was established in 1998 to preserve and promote western craftsmanship within the cowboy trades. In order to do so, the TCAA has established a scholarship program, and also sponsors educational workshops. These educational programs and the day-to-day operations of the TCAA are funded by private donations along with a percentage of the annual exhibition and sale each year. Purchasing work out of the sale is one of the best ways to support the mission of the TCAA, since this is a direct way of supporting individual craftsmen as well.
If you would like to assist the TCAA in our mission by making a cash donation, you may do so in any amount. Your gift will be used in three areas:
- The TCAA General Fund
- These contributions are used for the general day to day operation of the Association.
- The Nicola Educational Fund
- These contributions are used to fund our scholarship program, educational events and materials as well as current member continuing education.
- The TCAA Endowment Fund
- These contributions are to ensure the funding of future major programs to further the mission of the TCAA
The Traditional Cowboy Arts Association is a 501(c)(3) organization, so a major portion of your contribution could be tax deductible. Consult your CPA for your exact deduction.
If you do not wish to contribute online, you may mail contributions of any size to:
