The annual Crossing Arts Alliance 8x8 fundraiser is moving online between Oct. 18-25.
Enthusiasts will have the opportunity to bid on an original piece of art in online silent auctions that support Crossing Arts Alliance. The proceeds are 100% donated toward supporting Crossing Arts' mission to promote and enhance the arts in the lakes area.
Those who are interested in contributing their talents may pick up canvasses from the Crossing Arts building. Finished works must be dropped off by Sunday, Oct. 11, to be included in the auction.
