Shipping Fees
Artists are responsible for all shipping costs. The artist is expected to either deliver entries or ship them prepaid. Art will not be returned “freight collect.” Artists who hand-deliver entries to the site but wish them shipped back will be assessed with a packing charge. Please enclose return packing slips with shipped work. Under no circumstances shall CNB be liable for any damages to items of art sustained during shipping, delivery and/or unpacking. Requests from the artist to repair any damage sustained during shipping, delivery or unpacking will be granted at the sole discretion of TOTAS officials.

Artwork Return

The show will hang through May 10, 2025. We ask that you consider other commitments before entering, as works displayed in the show may not be picked up prior to May 13, 2025.

All artwork must be picked up no later than May 24, 2025. Any artwork left after that date will become the property of Cherokee Nation Businesses LLC. Special arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis. Every effort will be made to return entries in their original shipping packages. Cherokee Nation Businesses LLC is not responsible for damage during shipping. If the returned artwork is damaged, a claim may be filed with the carrier for the insured amount. Please try to design your box for easy return and allow for sufficient packing on all sides to protect your work. Please be sure your name is on the box. CNB shall not be responsible for packing hand-carried entries.

Hand Delivered Submissions
Art may not be claimed by anyone other than the artist or designee listed on application, unless the artist provides written authorization. Any request to rescind authorization must also be made in writing by artist.
