Crossing Arts presents its annual exhibit, "Salute To The Arts," sponsored by Midwest Security and Fire, which will run Sept. 8-25 in the Crossing Arts Gallery in downtown Brainerd.

This exhibition, which usually takes place in June, was rescheduled to later in the year due to COVID-19.

Featuring fresh new artworks from area artists that have been created over the past year, works on display include photography, sculpture, paintings, textile/fabric and more.

Exhibiting artists are Carolyn Abbott, Carla Benjamin, Kathleen Braud, Shelby Cate, Karen Cheney, Mark Christy, Millie Engisch, Susan Foss, Haddie Hadachek, Jody Hagenson, Lonnie Knutson, Tom Larson, Natalie McGuire, Mark Moser, Molly Ring, Gregory Rosenberg, Jan Sheets and Robert Whistler.

Due to COVID-19 and regulations for large group gatherings, Crossing Arts will not have a public reception for this exhibition, but the public is invited to visit the gallery during regular business hours to view the artwork. In addition, a gallery tour video will be posted on the website and social media pages for those who are unable to view the exhibition in person.
