The Autumn Arts Scene

the arts scene in the greater Brandon area is alive and well!

Fall has begun with an increase in art activities and related events and projects!  The annual Gallery Hop in September was very successful. If you missed it, it will happen again September 2012, the weekend after Labor Day. 

The plans for the eight annual Brush Strokes Awards are finalized and the event is Thursday, Oct. 27 at Center Place. The reception is from 6:30 to 7:15 and the awards program starts at 7:15 p.m. We promise to have an all-star cast of recipients and hope we fill the room with supporters!

A fundraiser for the Greater Brandon Arts Council is planned for Nov. 1.   Applebee’s program, “Dining to Donate,” will feature a 10 percent donation to the GBAC for all the diners who eat there from 4-9 p.m. and have a flier to attach to their bill at end of the meal. The fliers can be downloaded from www.brandonaerts.org, from Facebook, and by contacting any GBAC board member. Please help support the arts in our community and enjoy a pleasant meal out at Applebee’s on Providence Road in Brandon.
