Joe Beeler Foundation continues to promote Western Art

 Historical League honored Joe Beeler in 1995 as Arizona Historymaker. His influence continues with The Joe Beeler Foundation (the CAA's educational nonprofit organization). The foundation was proud to partner with Imagination Fort Worth & the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo for CAPTI 2024. This is just one way CAA members honor the Joe Beeler Foundation's mission of educating the next generations of artists!
