‼️ We're extending our call for 2 more days!

The Brighton Arts and Culture Council invites artists from Northumberland County and surrounding areas to apply to the “Inspired by the Apple Route” juried art show.

It’s our first ever juried art show at PWAC! We'll be celebrating with an opening on June 13 in the evening after the Apple Route Tour is done for the day!

🥇 Awards:
-Juror's Choice (2 Winners)
-People's Choice (Voted on by gallery visitors and Apple Route visitors leading up to the opening)
Awards will be presented at the opening June 13!

The answer to a few questions:
- This show will be juried by Kerry Viggiani as the BACC juror, and guest juror Barbara Husband. Barbara is a photographer from Port Hope known as “the bird whisperer”. She is also a board member at the volunteer run gallery in Port Hope.

- In case anyone is concerned, neither juror will be submitting work as it would be a conflict of interest.

- ALL mediums will be welcome to apply. 3d, photography, painting, etc….

- There will be a low cost to apply; a higher cost to non BACC members. BACC/PWAC will retain a 30% commission for any sold work

- While Brighton is located in Northumberland County, as is the ARST tour, our BACC membership base also resides in Quinte, PEC, and Hastings counties. As a result, we are extending the call to non-members in those areas as well.

This is an opportunity to display your Apple Route Inspired work at Presqu’ile Waddling Arts Centre, downtown Brighton, from June 1st tilll June 28th (including the highly anticipated Apple Route Studio Tour weekend) Artists of all mediums, 3D/2D, are welcome to apply. Applications open on Monday April 20 at noon and will close on Thursday May 14 at 11:55pm. Accepted artists will be contacted by Friday May 22 with information about art drop off and collection.

Fee is $30 for General Submissions and $15 for BACC Members

⭐️ YOUTH WORKSHOP ⭐️
Unlock the secrets of spatial depth in this dynamic, hands-on workshop! You will learn how to transform a flat 2D surface into a convincing 3D world by mastering both linear and aerial perspective. Using your own name or nickname as the subject, we will explore the fundamental vanishing point techniques, including 1, 2, 3, and 4-point perspectives.

Beyond traditional views, you’ll dive into isometric and axonometric styles to see how depth is rendered across different technical disciplines. By the end of the session, you’ll have a portfolio of your name reimagined in various spatial dimensions. Perfect for artists looking to ground their work in realistic space!

Whether you’re a budding artist or picking up a brush for the very first time, this is the place to play, experiment, and create! We believe art is all about exploration and fun, which is why these sessions are designed to be completely hands-on and stress-free.

For Every Skill Level: From curious beginners to experienced young creators, everyone is welcome.
Zero Prep Required: No need to bring a thing—we provide all the professional materials and tools you’ll need to complete your project.
Creative Community: A fantastic way to meet fellow young artists and get inspired in a welcoming, artistic environment.

Venue: Presqu’ile Waddling Arts Centre
Host: Brighton Arts & Culture Council (BACC)
Registration: Includes all supplies—just bring your imagination!

All youth ages 8 and up are welcome—come as you are and leave with a masterpiece!
