2025 EnPleinAirTEXAS Ranch Fellowship & Texas Artists Camp Revival
The excitement of EnPleinAirTEXAS continues into its 12th year as the 2025 Ranch Fellowship and Texas Artists Camp Revival bring a singular cultural and historical art experience to West Texas ~ unmatched by any other art event in the country. In 2015, local arts patron Elta Joyce McAfee gifted an endowment to the museum ensuring the future of EnPleinAirTEXAS. The additional community support of donors and volunteers is responsible for the thriving growth and innovation at your San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts!
All sponsors are invited to the Preview Gallery Walk & Talk on October 23, 2025, before the STAMPEDE Exhibition and Sale opens to the public.
Sponsorships at the $5,000 level or above may purchase one painting after the Gallery Walk and before the STAMPEDE opens to the public.
The EPAT 'Ranch Boss' $5,000
Each year the national award-winning Ranch Fellowship artists open the eyes of students and our community as they let us see our world through their creative expressions of our ranchlands and city. Our Fellowship Ranch Bosses directly impact the opportunities the museum has to build on the history and culture of our West Texas.
Our unique history - artists coming out west to the middle of nowhere 100 years ago to paint ‘en plein air’, in what is still today, rugged ranchland, is something we plan to promote shamelessly! Our Revival Ranch Bosses can help bring that original Texas Artists Camp back to life, with the possibilities for growth, endless.

The STAMPEDE Exhibit Sponsor $5,000
For the first time ever, our traditional "STAMPEDE" Exhibit & Sale will include a curated museum exhibit and sale of Ranch Fellowship paintings in Gallery One at the museum! This is an honor for the artists and a highlight on their resumés. Additional 'Back Forty' paintings and student paintings from the Student Art Day will be showcased and for sale in the Grand Hall on October 23rd for a night of celebrating art, artists, and our West Texas Heritage.
The EPAT 'Buckaroo Wranglers' $2,500
We not only intend to reach more buckaroos (students!) this year but also want to 'rope-in' the high school Art Teachers with Scholarships to the Texas Artists Camp Revival! Lake View and Central High School art students, and this year, Christoval High School art students & teachers will spend time with our 5 Ranch Fellows, learning and painting together 'en plein air' during the week.
The EPAT 'Ranch Hands' $1,000
The treasure of our area's 100-year plein air painting history is a pathway to helping our communities and our children see things differently. Our EPAT Ranch Hands truly believe in what we are doing and help the museum outreach to grow even more substantially.

Friends of EPAT ‘Trail Hands’ $ 500
All the smaller pieces that go into making something grand, come down to the details that need to be well thought-out and that truthfully, need to happen in a big way. EPAT Friends help us plan even more ways to engage students AND help their teachers with new experiences that help them grow and be a productive part of your community! Our 'Friends' truly help get the work done!
