Cherokee Arts Center, located in Historic Downtown Tahlequah, Oklahoma, is a revitalized artistic hub that offers a gathering place for artists to explore various creative avenues, share their knowledge, and learn new techniques. With a focus on perpetuating Cherokee culture through art and artistic expression, the center provides artists with opportunities to become entrepreneurially-minded and generate income while spreading awareness about Cherokee heritage. The center also houses the Spider Gallery, providing Cherokee artists with an additional venue to showcase and sell their work.
Originally constructed as a Works Progress Administration project during the Great Depression, the Cherokee Arts Center underwent renovations funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and tribal funds. Today, the center serves as a vibrant space for artists to engage in metal smithing, pottery, loom weaving, painting, and more. Situated in close proximity to other cultural landmarks such as the Cherokee Supreme Court Museum and the Cherokee National History Museum, the Cherokee Arts Center is a must-visit destination for those seeking to immerse themselves in the rich artistic heritage of the Cherokee Nation.
