Cherokee artist Mark Wolfe has been part of the Cherokee Homecoming Art Show since its first show in 1995. Over the past three decades, he’s watched it grow and evolve into the grand showcase of Cherokee artistry that it is today. As this year’s art show comes to a close, Mark shares with us his hope that guests to the show leave with a lasting appreciation for Cherokee art, storytelling and culture.

Over the past month, the Cherokee Homecoming Art Show, featuring all-Cherokee art and artists in a showcase of traditional and contemporary works, was on display at The Gallery at Cherokee Springs Plaza. This celebration of shared heritage and culture was truly inspiring, which led us to make the Cherokee Word of the Week “inspiration.” | Visit Cherokee Nation
