Detail

10/3/2023 Edited the bid document description. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the livelihoods of Cherokee artists. The temporary closure of art galleries and the cancellation of art shows and exhibitions have severely affected their income. To help Cherokee artists, rebound culturally and economically, the Cherokee Artist Recovery Act includes funds for the acquisition of Cherokee art. In accordance with this act, Cherokee Nation Businesses (CNB) is accepting bids for original art to display within several locations throughout the Cherokee Nation reservation including, but not limited to, Cherokee Nation properties, Cherokee Nation Businesses properties, and Cherokee Nation Entertainment properties. CNB only accepts bids from Cherokee Nation citizens who can provide identification and artists previously designated as Cherokee National Treasures. All artwork selected will receive a label to accompany its future display and will include the Artist Recovery Act insignia and supplemental text “Property of Cherokee Nation- Acquisition made possible by the Cherokee Artist Recovery Act of 2022.” See bid documents for details.
