ABOUT US
FREDERICKSBURG TX ONLINE ART GALLERY
OUR HISTORY
In 2001 Kathy Weigand took the plunge and opened a studio showroom in her hometown of Fredericksburg TX. Within a couple years, the idea for an online art gallery representing other Texas artists was born, and WesternGalleries.com was created. Back then, e-commerce platforms were emerging, and an online art gallery was a new concept. Now-a-days, especially after the 2020 covid pandemic, many people enjoy helping support local artists & small business with online shopping.
FIRST FRIDAY ART ONLINE
In September 2023, Western Galleries launched First Friday Art Online, a rotating online collection of new works with guest artists. Email subscribers are the first to view & acquire new works on Thursday, the day before the gallery is opened online.
100% TEXAS ARTISTS
When clients invest in art, you're also investing in the artist. Our represented TX artists work hard at creating distinguished, original gallery artworks. Much work goes into each finished piece, and the art reflects the artist's skills, thoughts, style, and their creative heart & soul. With standard care, artwork can last for many generations.
Since our humble beginnings, Western Galleries continues to focus on helping support original TEXAS ART, while offering clients great customer service and a trusted e-commerce website here in Fredericksburg Texas.
For us, art is a passion, and as Western Galleries continues to grow, we can't wait to see what the future holds!

PROVENANCE
We encourage collectors to keep the artist's bio and paperwork for provenance.
Fine Art can last for many generations, and its provenance will serve as a guide for the artwork's authenticity. Leaving a paper trail with your estate and future art collectors can help them to better understand the artwork's importance to you, its history, and the artist.
ESTATE ART | PRE-OWNED
Pre-owned items will be clearly identified in the listing.
All known provenance such as its history, previous ownership, paperwork, Certificate of Authenticity, etc., will be noted on the listing and included with the item.
GIVING BACK
Over the years, we have spearheaded and participate in promoting and supporting our local events, pets, and other community fundraisers.
We are thrilled to say that our artwork has raised thousands of dollars for our Fredericksburg community, America's Wild Horse non-profits, and
HELPING WILD HORSES
We enjoy traveling throughout the western states and viewing America's Wild Horses in their natural habitat. They are living icons of our unique American history and western frontier, but unfortunately are experiencing many on-going, conflictive issues.
Artist Kathy Weigand has been an advocate since viewing and photographing the McCullough Peaks Wild Horses in 2004 near Cody Wy. Partial proceeds from the equine & wild horse gallery sales are donated to Wild Horse non-profits.
Thank you for visiting WESTERN GALLERIES!
