In late November 2024, well-known Ledger artist Chris Pappan visited Lawrence, KS, to host a three-day ledger art workshop with the locals and a few Haskell students at the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas. Pappan is an artist of Osage, Kaw, Cheyenne River Sioux, and mixed European heritage. The participants learned about the history of low-brow art, ledger art, and the Sacred Red Rock project. They could also see examples of historical and contemporary ledger art and had access to historical ledger paper to work on. The workshop also included a field trip to the Allegawaho Memorial Heritage Park and Council Grove, KS, which is the new home of the Red Rock Project. The Red Rock project is the return and relocation of Iⁿ‘zhúje‘waxóbe, the red Siouxan quartzite boulder. The Kaw nation has a long relationship with the rock and values it as a sacred prayer item in its community.
