September 10-26th ~ Fall Fair

October 8-10th ~ Celebration of Western & Wildlife Art Show & Sale

Michael McGrady, an actor and an accomplished painter will be the Guest of Honor for the 2010 Celebration of Western & Wildlife Art Show. The show will be held in the Expo Hall at the Puyallup Fairgrounds on Oct. 8-10, 2010.

Michael stars as “Sal” in the critically acclaimed TNT police drama “Southland” and is currently working in a movie. Many of you know Michael as the young Federal Way High School graduate, who took a leap of Faith and moved to Hollywood where he has enjoyed a full and rewarding acting career. He has had recurring roles in “Las Vegas”, “CSI Miami”, “The Riches”, “Jag” and Fox’s “24”. He has also guest starred in dozens of major films.

Even though Michael has experienced great success in his acting career, he has never lost sight of his deep-felt passion for art. He gravitates towards bold colors and thick layers of paint that encourages a more three-dimensional experience with painting.

Show Host Fred Oldfield, nationally acclaimed Western Artist, is pleased to have Michael join an already outstanding line up of over 100 of the country’s top Western Artists. Fred is a friend and mentor to Michael and is delighted to get him back to "his roots" in the Pacific NW and showcase his artwork.
