Blackbear Bosin, Kiowa-Comanche artist and one of our museum’s founders, is well known as the creator of the Keeper of the Plains, but he created so much more art in his all too brief career.
Over the past three years, 26 Bosin originals have been generously donated to the museum’s collection and the Bosin Society raised nearly $60,000 for the preservation fund to care for them all.
The Bosin Society is a group of people dedicated to conserving and preserving the art and legacy of Blackbear Bosin for future generations. Membership is achieved through donating an original work of art or financial contribution. Donors will be recognized in the Bosin exhibit, on our website, social media and at special private dinners. Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated. There are a number of pieces which need conservation work.
