Art is for EVERYONE!

All are welcome at The Crossing Arts! No matter your past experience creating, collecting, or appreciating art, The Crossing Arts is a place where you (yes, you!) can learn more about making and appreciating the world of visual art. At The Crossing Arts, you can see a range of work by regional artists; hear exhibiting artists talk about their work; learn more about the different painting techniques; encourage creativity in your kids; and/or find a handmade, unique gift.

Art is an expression of the human experience. It’s about creating something because it is relaxing and good for our mental health to be creative. It’s about seeing and appreciating something beautiful that someone else created. It’s about finding others who might also be yearning to try something new, meet someone new, and hear more about one another’s lived experiences.

Art is about life and what it means to be alive! We’re here for you, right in Downtown Brainerd. Come on in!
