BRAINERD — The Crossing Arts Alliance will distribute creativity kits 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Sept. 10, on tables inside the Crossing Arts building, 711 Laurel St., downtown Brainerd.
This month's projects teach pointillism and provide materials to make a customized travel tic-tac-toe board. Creativity kits are free to the public. The 300 kits are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
“I come from a family of artists and supporting this program is a wonderful way to honor their memory through giving the gift of art to budding young artists,” stated September sponsor Dawn Cacioppo in a news release.
The kits are partially funded by the voters of Minnesota through grants from Five Wings Arts Council and the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
Hi, I'm the Brainerd Dispatch. I started working a few days before Christmas in 1881 and became a daily paper two years later. I've gone through a lot of changes over the years, but what has never changed is my commitment to community and to local journalism. I've got an entire team of dedicated people who work night and day to make sure I go out every morning, whether in print, as an e-edition, via an app or with additional information at www.brainerddispatch.com. News, weather, sports — videos, photos, podcasts and social media — all covering stories from central Minnesota about your neighbors, your lakes, your communities, your challenges and your opportunities. It's all part of the effort to keep people connected and informed. And we couldn't do it without support.
