The 32nd annual Western Design Conference Exhibit + Sale (WDC) is coming up on Sept 5-8, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Top-notch artisans from across the country are the reason the new HOME issue of Big Sky Journal just dubbed WDC the “premier exhibition and sale that brings together artisans, artists, collectors, interior designers and architects” during the town’s annual Fall Arts Festival.
The WDC kicks off with the highly anticipated Preview Party + Fashion Show on Sept 5, with a live runway show and an early-bird chance to walk the showroom floor and meet with the artists behind the latest one-of-a-kind Western fashions, jewelry, art, furniture, home accessories and apparel.
Furniture makers at the event include Tim Lozier of How Kola Furniture who produce cowboy style Molesworth-era furniture from the design base of the late Thomas Molesworth himself – Cody, Wyoming.
His inventive creations include chairs, sofas, beds and tables to which he adds his own spin to create “Modern Molesworth” furniture updated for today’s interiors – and his inspired pieces also received a special write-up in the new Big Sky Journal HOME.
Meanwhile furniture designer Stephen Rosini of SR Woodworking out of Salt Lake City, Utah, will return to the WDC with contemporary and elegant wood furniture for the home including his Cirrus lamps and lounge chairs.
Secure tickets in advance to the Western Design Conference Exhibit + Sale online, including the Preview Party + Fashion Show on Sept 5, from 6 - 10 p.m. General admission tickets for the opening event are $100 per person, which includes meet-and-greets with the exhibitors, a runway show, a live auction and local culinary creations paired with signature cocktails from an open bar; VIP tickets with reserved seating are available for $175. The event continues through September 8, with day-passes available for $30.
