"Our mission is to cultivate, nurture and grow the arts 
in our community by supporting local artists."

"Painting with the Stars" and "Spanning the Generations Art Show" will not be held this winter and spring due to COVID 19. Other display opportunities are available for artists to display their art. Also, February's member's meeting will not be held but we will be sharing a little creativity for our CAC members.






CAC member
Artist of the Month:

Georganna Krumlinde

     Georganna (Gigi) considers herself a heritage artist. She specializes in quilting, weaving, tatting, crocheting, applique, embroidery, knitting, and sewing. She also enjoys woodcarving. Her favorite art is quilting. She enjoys the challenge of making something useful and beautiful out of scraps of material left over from other projects, or given to her by someone who no
longer sews.


Gigi's artwork can be see at Lillian Yahn Gallery and also in the Annual "Pieces of the Heart" Quilt Show.
Her quilts will be on display at Wentzville City Hall in February.

Some encouraging and inspirational thoughts from our Crossroads Arts Council founding president, Diane Ransom:
"In inviting artists to participate in one of the various events that the Arts Council provides throughout the year, so often this is the responses we hear. “Oh no, I can’t enter my work, it’s not good enough.” “It doesn’t measure up.”  “I can’t compete with that…”  WHEN YOU ARGUE FOR YOUR LIMITATIONS, YOU GET TO KEEP THEM.

I would ask you to stop, pause, and listen to the voice in your head. And when that voice reminds you of your short comings, your lack, and your limitations, take charge with our superpower and make the choice not to believe it. Reshape your life around you by making a different choice."
