Artwork Pickup Policy
All artwork must be picked up at the conclusion of the exhibition during the scheduled
pickup time.
Please note that the Brighton Art Guild cannot assume responsibility for any loss or
damage that may occur while artwork is stored at CoBACH or during any relocation
process. Artwork remaining after the scheduled pickup period is stored entirely at the
owner's risk.
If you are unable to pick up your artwork personally, please arrange for someone else to
do so on your behalf. Artwork not picked up by the announced deadline may be
relocated to the CoBACH’s basement storage at the owner's risk until alternate
arrangements are made.
We understand unforeseen circumstances can occasionally arise. If that results in not
being able to pick up your artwork as scheduled, please notify the curator as soon as
possible to discuss alternative arrangements. This arrangement is intended for
exceptional situations. Repeated or unnecessary use of this exception may not warrant
this accommodation for future exhibitions.
​
Artwork Handling Policy
During and after the installation of artwork, no artist may move their own artwork or anyone else's artwork unless they have received direct authorization from the exhibit curator. If the curator is unavailable, approval must be obtained from the President of the Brighton Art Guild.
​
Failure to follow this policy may result in the removal of the artist's work from the exhibition. This policy applies to both the Fine Art Exhibition and the Gallery Store.
​
This policy applies equally to all participants without exception.
Small Works Registration Form
All fields that have an asterisk following the name of the field must be completed before the form can be submitted.
The CoBACH Center is our display and art space on Main Street in Brighton that the City supports for us. We share the location with the Brighton Area Historical Society and are responsible to the City to keep the building active.​
​​
To that end, our part as the Guild is to be responsible to provide CoBACH Greeters for approximately 150 shifts each year. This involves being at CoBACH for a 3 hour shift.
​
It’s not difficult to do – very easy to learn; and it helps our presence and continued visibility of our Art on Main Street. If each member were to take a shift or two throughout the year that it would easily cover our obligation. CoBACH Greeter Instructions are available on this website
​
Note that artists exhibiting in Public Places venues are required to sit for one shift for each exhibit entered.
