Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art acknowledges it resides on the ancestral territory of the Osage, Kaw, and Otoe-Missouria, among other tribal nations forcibly moved to the region such as the Shawnee, Wyandot, Delaware, Potawatomi, Sac and Fox and Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo) nations. We recognize and support the continued vibrancy of Native communities and cultures today who continue to thrive, as well as the inherent sovereignty of tribal nations. We are compelled to serve and advocate for these communities in accordance with our public mission.

Kemper Museum acknowledges and respects the diversity of Native people connected to this land today. Many recognize the land and all beings who live within it as relatives. We acknowledge the earth we inhabit, the waters of the Blue River, the Kansas River, the Missouri River, and the plants, animals, and people supported by them. 

We acknowledge our responsibility to be good caretakers of the land we occupy.

Join us for a morning of art-making inspired by works on view in the galleries.

Immerse yourself in the art of papermaking with local artist Kelsey Pike at Kemper Museum. Join us for an engaging and collaborative workshop where Kelsey will share insights into her own papermaking process and showcase a live demonstration.

Drawing inspiration from Virginia Jaramillo's remarkable paper works, participants will have the unique opportunity to contribute to a collective masterpiece using a large papermaking mold.

Return the following week to claim a piece of this handmade paper artwork and take it home with you. Capacity is limited! If your plans change and you can no longer make it, we appreciate you canceling your reservation to give someone else the chance to attend.
