"The Garis Gallery of the American West is the most concise snapshot of our western art as seen from an Oklahoma perspective that exists anywhere," according to Ken Davenport - owner of the Arkansas Art Gallery in Little Rock, Arkansas. He also remarked, "This should be the first stop of a student of western art in the exploration of the Chisholm Trail, Western and Native American Art.
