Topeka
Overview
785 Arts is a Native American-Owned Art Gallery, Studio, and cultural Center that highlights authentic Indigenous art alongside local creative work. It was founded to share and celebrate Native traditions—especially Cherokee arts such as double-wall basketry, cornhusk dolls, jewelry, contemporary pieces, and more—and ensure that every piece in the gallery is genuinely made by tribal artists.
In addition to exhibiting art, 785 Arts offers educational experiences for a wide range of audiences, including workshops and classes in traditional Cherokee art forms and introductions to Cherokee language and culture. These programs are available for children, adults, schools, and groups interested in hands-on learning about Indigenous creative practices.
The gallery has become an important part of Topeka’s cultural scene, earning recognition from the local arts community (including a People’s Choice award for arts in the area) and serving as a partner in broader arts engagements such as community exhibitions and events.
