The Gallery is in an old restored main street building built in 1906. Established by artist Cha’ Tullis in 1977 on the Osage Nation Reservation in Hominy, Oklahoma. Tullis is Blackfoot and Cherokee, not of Osage heritage like many of his neighbors, and unlike many of them, he was not born in Osage County. He was born in Carthage, Mo., but he has a deep, abiding love for Hominy and the rolling hills of the land of the Osage. The murals he painted downtown and the sculptures on the hill are his way of paying homage to the town where he grew up and where his artistry was nurtured and encouraged. He stays here because he wants to be here, even if leaving might be more profitable.
