Last September, Glenn Beck and 30 prominent American artists gathered for the inaugural American Narratives Art Show. Among the attendees were the esteemed Josh Clare, Thomas Blackshear, Heide Presse, and Jason Rich.

American Narratives Art brought together a variety of talented artists.

Inspired by Beck's passion for history and the collection of national and international historic artifacts, these artists convened at Mercury Studios in Dallas, Texas, for a distinctive exhibition of contemporary American art.

In some instances, inspiration for the pieces came from Beck's extensive collection of historical artifacts, including George Washington’s glasses, Dorothy’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, and Lucille Ball's dress from I Love Lucy. These artifacts were displayed alongside the art in the show to create an interactive and unique presentation of illustrative American storytelling.

With more than 100 works of art in this exhibition, the show featured a broad array of subjects and styles. Nonetheless, all of these pieces focused on one theme: the appreciation of the American legacy through art. Beck didn’t just provide a forum for these world class artists; he was one of them! During the COVID lockdowns, Beck developed a profound passion and talent for painting. His first solo art show, hosted in Utah at the Park City Fine Art Gallery in June 2022, showcased the initial fruits of his newfound artistic outlet.

Glenn and Tania Beck believe in the power of art. Being able to showcase a diverse group of talented artists is an honor they relish.

Radio show host, self-taught historian, and master storyteller, Beck has shown a similar mastery in conveying stories with oil as he does with words. The American Narratives Art Show was a remarkable blend of Beck’s many talents, and, as he intended, it brought people together during a time of division and conveyed a vibrant story of our American heritage.

While community and unity were indeed the goals of the art show, the artist invitations were highly selective. Many pieces sold for high dollar amounts, demonstrating that American art not only tells a compelling narrative but also makes a strong case in the elite world of contemporary art.
