Walters was honored with the coveted Prix de West Award at The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in 2007. He  has also won three Nona Jean Hulsey Buyers' Choice Awards and two Frederic Remington Paintings Awards at the Oklahoma show since 1997.

The artist was recently the recipient of the first Patron's Choice Award at the Salmagundi Club's American Masters Show in New York City. Quest for the West, at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, declared Walters the Artist of Distinction in 2008. That same year, the Autry National Center in Los Angeles paid tribute with the Trustees' Purchase Award.

In addition to these shows, The Rendevouz will pair Walters with sculptor Veryl Goodnight next year for a special two-person show at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

His work is found in museums and public and private collections throughout the world, including those of the Forbes Magazine Gallery, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the estate of Robert Urich, astronaut Frank Borman, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and the Leanin' Tree Museum.

His paintings are available at the Trailside Galleries of Scottsdale, Arizona, and Jackson, Wyoming, the Claggett/Rey Gallery in Vail, Colorado, and in Santa Fe at the Nedra Matteucci Galleries. Original artwork and prints are also available through his online gallery at www.curtwalters.com.
