Mountain Oyster Club 51st Annual Contemporary Western Art Show and Sale
Mountain Oyster Club Gallery | Tucson, AZ | November 22, 2020
The Mountain Oyster Club 51st Contemporary Western Art Show and Sale was held November 22, 2020. The show in 2020 was a little different than in past years due to Covid-19. However, in addition to displaying the artwork on their website, the Mountain Oyster Club offered mini previews throughout the month of November to view the artwork and implemented the recommended measures to ensure the safety of their guests and staff.
I’m happy and honored that one of my pastel paintings, PEEK-A-MOO, was included in this wonderful exhibition!

Announcement of McCalla Award for People’s Choice on FaceBook
“I am delighted to announce that the winner of McCalla Award for People’s Choice is Barb Schacher with her adorable piece, “Peek-A-Moo”.
Denise McCalla was the art director for 13 years before unexpectedly passing away from acute leukemia in 2013. She was a dear friend of mine, the Mountain Oyster Club Staff and Members. She was a light; she was fun, full of love, and adored animals.
The Award is selected by the MO Staff to honor her dedication to the Art Show and her beautiful life.
Congratulations, Barb!”
