 A new exhibit has opened at the Crossing Arts Alliance in downtown Brainerd that challenged the artist to only use black and white in their creations. The new exhibition Black and White features art of various forms, all using black, white, and shades of gray. Public is invited to attend the opening reception of the exhibit this Saturday from two until four in the afternoon. Light refreshments will be served all in a black and white theme. Well, I think this is a unique challenge for the artist to really express something that in such a limited palette and we got just a great amount of different art forms represented. So I think it's really interesting and it kind of lets us thumb our nose at the limited palette outside because what we have in here is really beautiful. The exhibit will be on display at the Crossing Arts Alliance through February 2nd. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
