New Member Exhibit Fee

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 venue are required to sit for one shift for each exhibit entered.
