The Crossing Arts Alliance 8 x 8 Fundraiser - 2020

The 2020 Crossing Arts Alliance 8 x 8 Art Auction will be held entirely online. Instead of our usual gala, we will be hosting a live online auction from October 18, 2020 until October 25, 2020.

For years, this event has provided an inspiring collection of art, music, wine, and food that aimed to bring the community together in the Gallery setting. This year, we will transition to an online platform in order to respect the social distancing restrictions and guarantee our community members a safe way to participate in this event which offers access to 8 x 8 pieces donated by our incredible local artists.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will be put toward supporting The Crossing Arts Alliance's programs and initiatives, including the continued distribution of free Creativity Kits to our community members. We thank you in advance for your continued support and participation!

The Crossing Arts Alliance has been providing amazing, varied arts activities to central Minnesota since 2000. As a 501c3 nonprofit, we work hard to make sure that the arts are accessible to everyone.

Located in the heART of downtown Brainerd, we provide arts programming to hundreds of children each year, cultivating creative thinkers and makers, and introducing them to a wide array of mediums.

Monthly exhibits inspire and excite our artists and viewers.

Local artists sell their work in our Gift Shop, delighting patrons who are looking for local, one-of-a-kind pieces.

Our workshops build skills for writers, visual artists, and those seeking a creative outlet.

We act as a conduit for the creative community, connecting those with similar interests.

We depend on the generosity of our members, volunteers, and community to offer these services. Proceeds from our auction will go to our general fund to be sure we can continue this important work.
