Open Press Sessions
Session 1: What is Printmaking?
August 6th 6-8pm
​We're very excited about this new venture at The Creative, highlighting our donated manual printing press and developing Print Shop.
We are currently planning these sessions on the First Thursdays of each month, beginning on August 6th from 6-8pm.
We'll be exploring the large variety of printmaking processes available to us now that we have this press. Most of these sessions will consist of demonstrations, with some possibility of hands-on activities down the line.
August 7 - September 7, 2026
Opening Reception on Sunday, August 9 from 5-7pm

Creative Community at Klondike
Do you enjoy being creative? Do you consider yourself an artist, an artisan, a crafter, or a maker? Do you enjoy painting, weaving, knitting or crocheting, sketching, crafting jewelry or anything hand-made? Or do you just like learning something new?
Does your creativity run along musical lines? We welcome your tunes!
Come join us at The Creative on Thurs., August 20th for our next
gathering of Community Creatives.
Doors open at 5:30pm, and lights out at 8:30pm.
Come by when you can & bring a beverage of your choice with whatever you're working on for time spent creating with (new) friends in your community. Between projects? Just come to hang out and see what others are doing. Need help with a project? One of us may be able to help you out!

We'll be meeting on the Third Thursday of every month.
Some months we will have small projects to try together.

Have you ever wondered about this beautiful St Charles County park called Klondike? Come see our new History Wall in the Quarry Gallery, just inside the front entrance. Bravo to Bill and Chris Schaul, who knocked it out of the park with a ton of hard work and research!
Be sure to check out the display of glass items actually made with Klondike silica!

The Creative at Klondike
We are the Creative at Klondike,
an Art Center in Klondike Park,
serving Franklin, Warren, and
St. Charles Counties.
Building a culture of inspired thought through art, processes, and experiences.
Our Goals
Expand access to art & creative experiences.
We embrace the idea of building a community of inspired thought. This propels us to bring stimulating workshops, visiting artists, open studio hours, rotating gallery exhibits, & memberships to fit all visitors.
Support a thriving arts community.
Establish the infrastructure to be a self-sustaining arts center that benefits both artists and community.
Recognition as an arts & cultural destination.
Promote the arts to brand our Augusta, MO region as an arts and cultural destination, and The Creative at Klondike as a significant cultural asset.
We're afraid that, at this time, The Creative is not available for rental for any private events,
such as parties or weddings.
