HOTELS IN GREENVILLE, OH:
WESTERN ARTS IN OHIO AND AROUND THE COUNTRY Western arts performers played a major role in the development of American entertainment through the early 1950's. Today, the skills and entertainment value of these performers is relegated to the rodeo arena or the sideshow. The Annie Oakley Western Arts Showcase has provided a venue in Annie's home town of Greenville where western arts performers and hobbyists can come to hone their skills, compete in contests, and share their love of the western arts with friends and colleagues. GLD Enterprises & Productions is a promoter and support of Western Arena Arts such as whip artistry, lariat artistry, and much more. Our company donates time, resources, and staff to produce and operate the Annie Oakley Western Arts Showcase in Greenville, Ohio. Many free workshops and other events are scheduled throughout the year. Bookmark this page and also visit www.thewhipstudio.com for whip artistry classes and special workshop information.
Many western arts performers assist stage and film productions to act as stunt performers, stand-ins, and western arts coaches. In May 2006, Ohio western artists Doug Smith and Gery L. Deer served as western arts coaches for the Wright State University production of "Annie Get Your Gun." Smith and Deer helped the cast learn roping and gun spinning for the production which was the highlight of the university's theater season. The Annie Oakley Western Arts Showcase is now an integral part of the Annie Oakley Days festival. The AOWAS was the first to present it's entire program before a public audience .... the first to combine a western arts gathering with a hometown celebration of a Wild West Performing Artists' life and career ... and many more!
