CAC member
Artist of the Month:
Patrick Nolan
"The inner drive for creative expression has been an oasis for me. My best friend. My work is colorful; usually with texture to engage a viewer. I am aware that all we consider as our physical world is in constant vibration. This motion in some form often emerges in my works."
Patrick is a founding member of Crossroads Arts Council and continues to delight others with his creative blended media art and inspirational linoblock prints. He uses vibrant fabric scraps, found objects, discarded metals, glass, beads and recyclable plastics. There is no limit to Patrick's creativity and to the amount of joy that he brings to others.

African and Haitian Art Sale
One of our founding members has generously donated beautiful African and Haitian artwork to us from his personal collection. He has encouraged us to sell the art pieces, with the proceeds going to support our mission, to cultivate, nurture and grow the arts in our community by supporting local artists.
Not only is this artwork beautiful, it is diverse and inspiring. Several of the pieces will be on display during the "Hibernation Creation" art show at Lillian Yahn Gallery, 3028 Winghaven Blvd., O'Fallon in honor of Black History Month.

To view the entire collection, we have created this video experience to share with you. If you, or someone you know, may be interested in purchasing some of these pieces, please contact us at:

CAC board and members would like to congratulate
Wentzville Historical Society's
BIG NEWS!!!
"Wentzville Community Historical Society has a new home! To help our city celebrate its sesquicentennial anniversary (150 years) in 2022, the City has granted us permission to occupy the upper floor of the former City Hall/Leonard Building so we can continue our archiving. At the same time, we’re going to transform it into a museum, a visitor’s center, a resource area; and we also plan to have a room dedicated to recording our citizen’s own memories."
We are thrilled with your new home and we look forward to your historical contributions to our community celebration in 2022!
