We believe every Sedalia story is worth painting!
As we face a historical anniversary and land transformation, there is a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and document the stories that shape what Sedalia is today. Through participatory art, we’re inviting the Sedalia community to co-create a visual record—one that reflects our capacity to question, remember, and reimagine this place together.
What is Participatory Painting?
It’s a collaborative art process where local residents contribute stories, memories, or imagery to co-create a large-scale piece that reflects the layered history and evolving spirit of Sedalia.
Who It’s For
Long-time residents, curious newcomers, youth, elders, artists, and organizations—anyone eager to connect through creativity and stories.
Why It Matters
In times when stories risk being lost or oversimplified, collective art allows us to hold complexity, uplift memory, and create something lasting—together.
Find out what it’s all about. RSVP below!

Gel Plate Printing
2026-02-07 10:30 - 12:30 | CO
Gel Plate Printing: Experimentation
Gel plate printing is playful, intuitive, and perfect for curious makers who love happy accidents. Using a soft gel plate and acrylic paint, you’ll build layered prints with textures, stencils, marks, and color blends—no press required. The magic really kicks in with magazine transfers: ink from glossy pages lifts onto your print, leaving behind ghostly images, unexpected typography, and rich visual texture.
This process invites experimentation—pull a print, peel a transfer, respond to what shows up, and keep going. Every layer adds depth and surprise, making each print a one-of-a-kind piece. Great for art journaling, mixed media, collage backgrounds, and standalone prints, gel plate printing is all about letting go, exploring materials, and discovering what happens when you play.
No two prints are ever the same—and that’s the point.
Sign-up for the collage class next week and bring your gel prints. The creative possibilities are endless. Create artwork for the Printmaking and Mixed Media gallery show in March. Call for entries coming soon!
