American Routes

In 2026, Route 66 – the Route to the American West – will celebrate its One Hundredth anniversary. We think of the American West as rugged, independent, adventurous, mysterious and for many artists it has been a place of rebirth or renewal, rooting themselves into the history of the land. Many female American artists found the West to be a more liberating location for their work, including painters Georgia O’Keefe, Agnes Martin and writer Willa Cather. Artists are invited to submit artwork that celebrates the spirit of adventure, renewal, and grit that typifies the landscape and the people of Route 66… as you drive Route 66 out of Missouri, the immortal voice of Nat King Cole sings “now you go through Saint Louis…”

How Does Commission Work at Webster Arts?

For many artists, having their artwork accepted to a show and on display in a gallery is exciting news. Even better? If their artwork is sold! Artists should be aware that Webster Arts takes a 30% commission on all gallery sales – this includes juried exhibits in the gallery and Small Works, as well as consigned items for markets. We recommend that artists price their artwork with this in mind. Webster Arts will endeavor to transmit payment to the artist as soon as possible.

Webster Arts also charges local sales tax on all artwork (as of October 2025, sales tax in Webster Groves, MO is 9.238%) and handles the payment of collected tax.
