Join us THIS Friday and see our out of this world Sun, Moon & Stars Exhibition!
Join us on May 15th to see Sun • Moon • Stars — An Exhibition of Celestial Inspiration
Crossroads Art Center invites artists to reach beyond the horizon in “Sun • Moon • Stars,” a themed exhibition celebrating the wonder, symbolism, and mystery of the cosmos. From bright, life-giving sunlight to the quiet pull of the moon and the infinite shimmer of distant stars, this show welcomes artwork inspired by the skies above and all they represent.

Let your imagination orbit ideas of light, shadow, rhythm, cycles, astrology, astronomy, mythology, and the universal human connection to the heavens. Whether literal or abstract, bold or serene, we encourage all interpretations that explore our relationship with the celestial world.

come see me. Weather looks great !! Support local artists!

The 20th Annual Christmas on MacArthur holiday festival will be December 13th, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm and will be held in the 4000 block of MacArthur Avenue in Northside’s Bellevue neighborhood. This special event benefits the U.S. Marine Corps annual toy drive, where every toy donated is given to a local child in need.

In addition, “Christmas on MacArthur” provides great holiday shopping opportunities, as scores of vendors will be on hand with their handmade arts and crafts – locally made, one-of-a-kind products – that make perfect Christmas gifts. In addition, there will a large variety of delicious food from the local restaurants, free craft activities for the kids, live animals, and music from a variety of talented local and regional musicians. The Marines, as well as City and State Police and Fire Departments will be on MacArthur in their flashy vehicles, and, of course, Santa will enter in his sleigh pulled by elves to listen to all of the children’s holiday wishes. The event is free to the public.
