The CREATE Symposium had six project groups which engaged the community through different types of arts programming:
- Sun Print Saturday partnered with the Kirksville Arts Association to put on a pair of children’s cyanotype workshops.
- Assembly sewed cyanotypes made by the community in the Sun Print Saturday workshops into a collaborative work of art that is now on display at the Sue Ross Art Center.
- Cyanotype Activities organized events on campus that helped bring people together through creativity.
- Zine Project created handmade booklets about their experiences at Truman or in Kirksville and gave them to people throughout the community, sharing their unique perspective and encouraging increased attentiveness to what is strange or distinctive about our surroundings.
- The Big Art Project worked in groups to make several large-scale cyanotypes, culminating in a series of work that is now displayed on the north side of Pickler Memorial Library, visually representing causes that the students wanted to draw attention to.
- Website gathered information on the projects and created a website to help inform the community about the CREATE Symposium, Their creation also serves as an archive of our projects.
