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 CED 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 Cherokee Homecoming Art Show officials.

Artwork Return

The show will hang through September 6, 2025. We ask that you consider other commitments before entering, as works displayed in the show may not be picked up prior to September 9, 2025.

All unsold artwork must be picked up or return arrangements made no later than September 20, 2025.

Any artwork—whether hand-delivered or shipped—that is left after this deadline will be returned to the artist at their expense. The artist will be invoiced for shipping costs, including any necessary packing materials.


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.
