Ragtime Collaboration

SEDALIA’S COLLABORATIVE RAGTIME INITIATIVE
 
Sedalia has actively celebrated its ragtime heritage through the years in many different formats and through many individual organizations.  Rarely, however, have the various community groups worked together to acknowledge or promote the area’s common cultural assets as they are right now.
 
In 2015,  a new collaborative  initiative was begun to bring together the Liberty Center Association for the Arts, the Scott Joplin International Ragtime Festival and the Sedalia Heritage Foundation and its Ragtime  Archive Project.  
This   year, Sedalia’s     Central    Business  and Cultural District has  become involved by contributing the Maple Leaf Rag contract signing historic standard to mark the 114 E. 5th Street site.
 
In addition to   improving communication    among the      groups, cooperation   will enhance the programs of each organization by providing expertise, funding assistance,  and   in some cases, by  sharing  facilities, personnel  and equipment.  This larger collaborative will also make it possible to expand the volunteer base during special events and for projects
​and to broaden publicity opportunities.
 
In the future, it is anticipated that some of Sedalia’s other fine arts and humanities organizations may want to join this informal cooperative effort.  Everyone will benefit from participation.
