Since its founding in 2002, the Winters Participation Gallery (WPG), an arts nonprofit, has focused its support on emerging artists in the Winters area. What began as a brick-and-mortar organization, evolved into a "gallery without walls" when the Board decided to concentrate on murals created by students. Over the last seven years, several high school Senior Capstone murals have been sponsored by WPG, and seven full-size murals have been created through the auspices of WPG's summer class titled "The Kate Humphrey Winters Historical Mural Project" in which students design and paint a mural under the direction of professional muralists.
During the Summer of 2024, Winters Participation Gallery and twenty-four students painted the west-facing wall on one of the Mariani Nut Company buildings on Railroad Avenue. Plans are already underway for the 2024 mural, with longer-range plans to partner with the Historical Society of Winters in creating a walking tour of the town featuring historical landmarks and murals.
