Art Challenge
Each monthly Guild meeting has an assigned topic challenging members to create art with that topic in mind. The art can be newly created or a past painting, photo, sculptor, etc.
The art does not have to be framed, it can be a quick sketch or illustration, etc., easy-peasy. During the monthly meeting, members vote for their favorite art. The chosen artist will have his/her picture with the art and a short artist statement placed in the Brighton Art Guild website and in the Newsletter for all to see.

August Challenge: no challenge due to WAM Festival

“Sanctuary”
Nancy Cross
“Some years back, during a period of self-examination, I was thinking a lot about who I was, where I was going, what I needed in my life and what I needed to be happy.
I took that concept of peeling back layers, trying to get at the heart of values and where I was. What aspects of my personality I saw that were important and where I needed to work on things.”
Editor’s note: Nancy’s art showed “peeling back layers.” One layer revealed soft lovely clouds in a blue sky that might indicate an area of sanctuary and one of the layers brought a brick wall into view that would seem to signify closing off or stopping something, as in, hitting a brick wall. Interesting....
