Invitational Dozens of artists from across the nation pay homage to a modern master of fine art, the iconic Hopi jeweler, Charles Loloma (1921-1992) in an annual juried competitive exhibit and sale, the "Masters of Influence" invitational. On Friday evening, June 19th, from 5:00-8:00 pm, each artist will present a single work in their field, whether it be traditional oil landscape, fused glass, contemporary metal sculpture, or complex mixed-media, influenced by the undeniable mastery of this years chosen Master of Influence, Charles Loloma. "I wish to create a relationship between the earth and myself. Sometimes we do not realize what we are kicking over. I want to make the soul come out" - Charles Loloma. We, too, hope to make the soul come out of these artists’ works. Each year a new Master of Influence is chosen. Each year our artists will be challenged to move beyond their own style, medium, and scope of familiarity, no doubt, yielding astonishing works. We hope you choose to be a part of this momentous exhibition, juried competition, and sale. In addition to the Best in Show and the sponsored Patron Award, we need your vote for the Collector's Choice Award.

![]() Generations:
Cherokee Language through Art Exhibition
Generations: Cherokee Language through Art Exhibition will be on display through August 16, 2009 at the Cherokee Heritage Center. This exhibition presents a magnificent visual narrative of the Cherokee Language through Cherokee artists, each creating a superb piece of artwork using a different character from the Cherokee syllabary. A special reception and book signing to celebrate its opening will be held on Saturday, June 6 from 12 pm to 4 pm. Admission to the reception is free. The exhibition features artwork created by 93 artists from the Cherokee Nation, United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians living around the country and ranging from 3 to 91 years of age. Each piece of artwork reveals the individual artistic expression of its maker. Today Cherokee artists continue to create breathtaking works that maintain the connection between the past and the present. In addition, a slide show movie that will display each character while an accompanying audio will sound the phonetic pronunciation of the character. Funding is made possible in part by a grant from the Annenberg Foundation. The Cherokee Heritage Center strives to educate visitors about the history, traditions and culture of Cherokee people. Open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. For

3 – Sep 13, 2009 In
the early 1990s, Dr. Rennard Strickland, an Oklahoma citizen of Osage
and Cherokee heritage and a passionate collector of Indian art,
served as Curator of Native American Art at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum
of Art. In the summer of 2007, Strickland announced that he wished to
give his remarkable collection of more than 200 works of Native
American art to the museum in memory of his mother Adell Tucker
Strickland. His collection appears in this new exhibition, which
includes paintings, baskets, pottery, textiles and sculpture,
representing some of the most acclaimed artists of the 20th century
to the present. Strickland’s vision and knowledge about Native arts
makes this one of the more remarkable contemporary collections to be
donated to the museum. A guest lecture by Strickland and Dr. Mary Jo
Watson, exhibition curators, will accompany this exhibition’s
opening June 3 at 6 pm. National
Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum,
