Art on Main The Guild is pleased to announce its new gallery space at 316 W.Main in the heart of Downtown Brighton. Stop by to view rotating exhibitions, take a class or just enjoy the company of artists.

Art at Genoa Launched in 2007, the new Genoa Medical Center in Brighton displays monthly solo exhibits by Guild members in the building's second floor and lower level lobbies.

Open Studios: Visit Where the Artists Work The Guild partners with Run Away with the Arts in Pinckney (RAAP) again for the second annual self-guided studio tour this spring. A collection of area artists will open their studios for the public to enter and experience.

Internship and Scholarship Program With the proceeds from Open Studios, the Guild launched its annual Scholarship for the Visual Arts in 2007. And in 2008, the summer internship program will launch, focusing on career, service and community outreach.

Kaleidoscope 2008 marks the ninth all-member Kaleidoscope exhibition. This is the one exhibition each year where all members show their work together for a very exciting and eclectic show.

Art at the Millpond Lending an atmosphere of festivity to summer Friday evenings, Guild members display, create and sell their art at the Brighton Millpond. Folks enjoying an ice cream, or taking a stroll along Main Street after dinner may wander by and visit with the exhibiting artists.
