2022 Rendezvous Royale Week Schedule

Friday, May through September 24, 2022

9:00AM – 5:00PM – Beginning Memorial Day weekend, patrons may view the Scout’s Miniature Sale at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West which features over 70 participating Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale Artists! The Miniature Sale acts as a preview for what’s to come in this year’s Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale Exhibition and Live Auction. This is the perfect opportunity for patrons to start their own Western art collection as these works of art are smaller than those created for the Live Auction! Open to the public at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
