Cardboard Corner's Paint-A-Palooza 2026 Sells Out, Wraps Miniature Painting Weekend

Cardboard Corner reported that Paint-A-Palooza 2026 sold out, concluding its focused miniature-painting weekend on February 21, 2026 in Kansas City. The organizers positioned the event as a single-purpose convention devoted entirely to miniature painting rather than a multi-hobby show.

The weekend program emphasized hands-on painting: scheduled workshops led by local instructors, guided paint-alongs, vendor demos highlighting product lines, and social paint sessions where attendees worked side by side. Cardboard Corner structured the timetable so paint-alongs and demos ran alongside vendor booths throughout the day, keeping the focus on brush time and paint techniques for models.

Attendance restrictions tied to the sellout changed on-site availability. Because Cardboard Corner closed registrations before the February 21 conclusion, walk-up registrations were not available for the remaining workshops and paint-alongs. Vendors set up product demonstrations and limited-run offerings during the weekend, concentrating sales and demos inside the Paint-A-Palooza footprint in Kansas City rather than in a separate hall.

Organizers reported the sellout as the event wrapped, marking the end of Paint-A-Palooza’s 2026 run. Cardboard Corner’s choice to center programming exclusively on miniature painting shaped the attendee experience at every stage of the weekend, from ticketing to the layout of demo spaces and the scheduling of paint-along slots that required pre-registration.

With the February 21 close, Paint-A-Palooza 2026 delivered a compact, painting-first weekend under Cardboard Corner’s banner in Kansas City. The sold out status on the final day underscores the demand organizers aimed to capture with workshops, paint-alongs, vendor demos, and communal paint sessions, all concentrated into a single focused convention environment.
