The Cowgirl is inviting members of the Fort Worth community to take part in “Cowgirl Colors, A Community Canvas,” art project celebrating the cowgirl and the exciting expansion of the Museum.

“Cowgirl Colors, A Community Canvas” focuses on bringing the community together through art by inviting participants to paint 8 x 8-inch wooden panels inspired by the theme of cowgirls and the western lifestyle. The completed panels will become part of a vibrant public art installation spelling the word “COWGIRL” across a custom-installed fence at Alice Walton Park, located just south of the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame and across the street from Dickies Arena.

Supported by Linbeck Construction, this colorful installation will reflect the creativity, stories, and shared pride of the Fort Worth community while honoring the enduring legacy of cowgirls who have shaped the West.

Participation in the art project is free and open to the public. Community members of all ages and artistic skill levels are encouraged to take part. Wooden panels can be obtained at the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame while supplies last, giving participants the opportunity to contribute their own artistic interpretation of the cowgirl spirit.

Once completed, the panels will be assembled into the larger temporary display at Alice Walton Park, creating a unique artwork celebrating the museum’s growth and the vibrant culture of the West.

The project is part of the celebration surrounding the expansion of the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame, reinforcing the museum’s mission to honor and share the stories of women of the West.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Participation is FREE and painting supplies (brushes, acrylic paint, stencils and wood panels) will be provided at no additional charge if attending a “painting event.”

Each panel must connect in some way to cowgirls or cowgirl life, which may include (but is not limited to):

Women riders and athletes

Ranching and working cowgirls

Rodeo, horses, and western traditions

Strength, resilience, independence, and community

Historical or contemporary interpretations of cowgirl life

Both realistic and abstract designs are welcome, as long as the connection to the theme is clear. In addition, artwork must be welcoming and family friendly for all ages; The Cowgirl reserves the right to exclude any panel that is deemed inappropriate. Limit 1 panel per person, while supplies last.

Panels are available for pickup at the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame during regular business hours, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.

Participants who take a panel for painting are required to provide their own supplies.

Participants may also attend a “painting event.” Check the events calendar or the listing below.

Panels intended for display must be returned no later than July 1, 2026.

Participants will be able to collect their panel at the close of the exhibition starting November 10, 2026. Panels not picked up by December 30 will become the property of The Cowgirl.

Welcome to the Sisterhood Series Challenge! June's theme: Ride Free

This year-long experience was created for one simple reason: none of us were meant to do life alone.

At 40 Something Cowgirls, sisterhood is the heartbeat of who we are. It’s showing up, lifting each other up, caring for ourselves and our communities, and choosing connection over isolation.

Each month, you’ll be invited into a new, optional challenge focused on encouragement, reflection, service, and growth. No pressure. No perfection. Loud or quiet, public or private — it all counts.

June Sisterhood Series Challenge – Ride Free

Summer is here, and this month's challenge is all about reconnecting with the reason we started this journey in the first place.

Not the ribbons.
Not the scores.
Not the endless to-do lists.

Just you, your horse, and the freedom that comes from being together.

This month, we invite you to Ride Free.

Take time to ride outside, explore a new trail, enjoy a quiet sunset ride, or simply spend a few extra moments appreciating the partnership you share with your horse.

Ask yourself:

✨ Where do you feel most free?
✨ What part of riding brings you the most joy?
✨ How has your horse helped you find freedom, confidence, or peace?

Photo Prompt of the Month:
"Where do you feel most free?"

Share a photo and tell us about the ride, place, or moment that helped you reconnect with the freedom horses bring to your life.

To participate:

1️⃣ Register for the June Sisterhood Series Challenge in the Wild Apricot app

2️⃣ Ride Free—however that looks for you

3️⃣ Share your photo and story in the 40 Something Cowgirls Facebook Group

Include your location or tag your chapter when you post.

Your story may inspire another Cowgirl to saddle up, take a deep breath, and remember why she rides.

This month's affirmation:

"I choose freedom.
I choose joy.
I make time for what fills my soul."

We can't wait to see where your adventures take you.

Photos shared for the challenge may be featured on 40SC social media as we celebrate the journey together.

Join us at Rocky Creek Park, one of our favorite places to ride! As the name suggests, this park is rocky, so shoes or boots are recommended for your horse if they have tender feet. The trails are beginner to intermediate, depending on which way you turn. If you prefer the less challenging route, just speak up and we can meet you on the other side. Bring a snack, because you never know!

Boots in the stirrup at 9!
