Čhatkú Arts Center Grand Opening Celebration
Join Us on Saturday, June 6, 2026!
The new Čhatkú Arts Center will serve as a place of honor for artists and culture bearers—past, present, and future. We invite you to celebrate with us as we open the doors to this inspiring new home for creativity, connection, and expression.
Red Cloud Indian Art Show
The Čhatkú Arts Center hosts the Art Show for ten weeks each summer. All the artwork is for sale, with the proceeds used to support individual artists as well as the work of the Čhatkú Arts Center.
Our Mission
The Čhatkú Arts Center (formerly The Heritage Center at Maȟpíya Lúta) interprets, honors, and celebrates the continuum of contemporary artistic expressions of indigenous people with an emphasis on supporting the Oglala Lakota community through economic opportunities for artists and educational programming for all.
