North State Equity Fund:
Workshops/ Studio Rental
Funded by the United Way North State Equity Fund, Pedal Press and former Impact Grant residents are collaborating to continue offering FREE workshops to the community at the Pedal Press studio on Fair Street. Workshops will be offered every 2nd and 4th Saturday until June, when the CARD Print Camp takes over the studio space. Signups for the workshops will be linked on the website and on Instagram. These limited-space workshops will consist of a variety of artmaking practices, so sign up in the paragraph below to get on our mailing list.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE--The Pedal Press studio is available for rental, for people looking for a place to offer their own community workshops. The studio can be rented for $50 for up to three hours on Sundays. Folks can charge whatever they wish for workshop participants. Space is limited--workshops should be limited to twelve participants or less, depending on material space needs. Contact us at the email below for more information.
Arts Advocate/ Prop. 28 In Butte County
A certificated Art Teacher and dedicated "hype person" for the arts, Julia was the Butte County ARTS NOW Arts Advocate in 2024-25. As such, she did work around supporting schools and districts with ways to use Prop. 28 money, and educating folks about Prop. 28 generally. To this end, she participated in the Butte County Strategic Art Education Plan, and created this website explaining what Prop. 28 is and does.
Who will be the next Butte County Arts Advocate? Maybe you! Apply here by July 30.
Volunteer Opportunities
Since 2017, the workers of Pedal Press have donated almost all of their time and labor to both staff PP, and create its structure and function. If you want to get involved with our work, we have several ways to participate. Please fill out this brief survey to indicate what feels like a good fit to you.
If you want to stay in touch, please send an email to pedal2thepress@gmail.com letting us know you'd like to be added to our mailing list.
And: THANK YOU!
Your support for Pedal Press made it possible for us to become a non-profit.
All donations are now tax-deductible, and we are actively seeking grant funding.
This will increase our ability to create intergenerational spaces, supports and structures to explore individual and collective identities through printmaking.
<3 Solidarity!
