Brandon League of Fine Arts is the perfect organization for artists and lovers of art who want to help promote and advocate for the arts. Artists of all skill levels, styles and mediums are welcome.

President’s Message
Looking for a good subject for your next artwork? Here are what some call “The Big 8” and why they matter...
Nature: Trees, leaves and organic patterns are perfect for ink, watercolor or digital.
Human Form: The possibilities are endless using faces, hands and the human figure.
Animals: Go from naturally accurate to stylized and fantasy oriented. Feel the energy of a family pet or a mythical beast.
Everyday Objects: Work out perspective and spacial reasoning while elevating a simple object to something thought provoking.
Architecture: Lofty cityscapes and quiet corners of a space can offer a story, no matter how epic or mundane.
Fantasy: Blend the real with imagined... personal, cultural and allegory show the ultimate in things being symbolic.
Abstract: No rules, just emotions and ideas. Develop a visual language and spark of reflection.
Still Life: A plate of fruit, a collection of odds and ends make for great color theory and a cool or warm mood.
There you go... now let’s begin!
David Bodo, BLFA President
