Funding awarded to series of Gelli printmaking workshops

July 1, 2025

On July 1st, at the conclusion of the public voting period, a $1,000 grant was awarded to Molly Schaller to support Pressing Matters, a new community art initiative centered around teaching a series of local workshops to children and adults about the art of Gelli printing, an accessible monoprinting technique that requires no press and produces vibrant, unique prints. This project will culminate in a collaborative exhibition at prominent locations at Muncie’s First Thursday gallery crawl to showcase the results of the workshops.
