Art is for EVERYONE! All are welcome here. The Crossing Arts is a nonprofit arts organization working to cultivate community connections through education, exposure to, and experiences with the arts. Access to the arts is instrumental in creating a more vibrant community, culture, and economy. We believe art is for EVERYBODY and aim to inspire and enrich our community for those who create, want to learn about creating, and those who appreciate the arts.

Great news, friends! We just restocked our beloved finger puppets, pencil toppers, and more.
If you missed out on those adorable, felted cat puppets last time, you’re in luck - we’ve got a fresh batch of cats, dogs, lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my!
Stop by The Crossing Arts and explore the new arrivals. You might just walk out with something irresistibly cute.

Happy Second Saturday! 🥳
Stop on into The Crossing Arts today and pick up your FREE creativity kit!

This month's creativity kit is all about Eric Carle, the beloved author and illustrator of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" 🐛. You'll create art inspired by his magical illustrations by crinkling and tearing up pieces of tissue paper and then gluing them down to create your own masterpiece.

A special thank you to Lutheran Church of the Cross in Nisswa, MN for sponsoring this month's kit. Your support is extremely appreciated!

The Crossing Arts is located in the heART of Downtown Brainerd. We are open Tuesday - Friday, 10am - 5pm and Saturday, 10am - 4pm. See you soon!

✨ Calling all artists! 🎨
We want your visual art for our exhibition in collaboration with the 2026 Lakes Area Music Festival!
