7/12/14 - The public can vote on their favorite among the many works of art produced during the Second Annual Plein Air Paint Out, which took place last month in Brighton. According to contest spokeswoman Claudia Roblee, 47 artists from around the state participated in the event, nearly double the number of those who submitted a painting in its first year. The paintings may now be viewed and voted on at the COBACH Center at Main and St. Paul streets or ArtVentures, also on West Main Street. Or, people can vote on the art works at the Grape Tent during the Brighton Fine Art and Acoustic Music Festival, to be held on Aug. 1st and 2nd. Prize money will be awarded to two artists, one award going to the popular vote winner and the other to the juried vote winner. In Plein Air paint-outs, the artists paint a picture of the favorite places near where they live. The Brighton event is sponsored by the Brighton Art Guild, Brighton Art & Culture Commission Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce. Roblee says if youâre particularly fond of a specific painting, you may purchase it at an attractive price. Once again, the paintings can be seen and voted on at the COBACH Center and at at ArtVentures, both on West Main in downtown Brighton. (TT)
