Cherokee Art Market 2026The 21st Cherokee Art Market brings nearly 170 Native artists to the Sequoyah Convention Center in Catoosa, Oklahoma, October 10–11, 2026. Here is how to plan a visit centered on the artists and their work.
Plan your visit
- Public market dates: Saturday–Sunday, October 10–11, 2026
- General market hours: 10 a.m.–5 p.m. both days
- Venue: Sequoyah Convention Center at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, 777 West Cherokee Street, Catoosa, OK 74015
- General admission: The organizer lists $12.35; special events and early access have separate tickets
- Organizer: Visit Cherokee Nation
The official 2026 event schedule confirms the market hours, admission and venue. Visit Cherokee Nation identifies the nearly 170-artist lineup. The venue provides its street address. Check the organizer’s ticket page for the current total and terms.
A market for art and conversation
The market features artists and artisans from federally recognized tribes across the United States and Canada. Jewelry, pottery, textiles, painting and sculpture are among the media listed by the organizer. The range gives visitors a chance to see contemporary Native art in many forms, from objects made for daily use to works intended for a collection.
Take time to read each artist’s information and speak with the maker about the work in front of you. Avoid treating a material or visual language as interchangeable across nations or artists; each practice has its own story. The official site publishes a participating artist list, so you can identify particular people to meet while leaving time to discover others.
Market weekend schedule
General admission to the public market runs Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. The organizer also schedules an awards reception on Friday, October 9 and a separately ticketed early access hour Saturday morning. Talks and presentations take place during the market weekend; consult the official schedule for topics and times. The Friday reception is distinct from the public market dates, despite some calendar listings grouping the full program as October 9–11.
