 -Brandon, Vermont is known for its hospitality, friendly natives, and a fun atmosphere. It is also know for his many artists and has been called "The Art and Soul of Vermont". Once upon a time in the wee town of Brandon, forty little pigs went to market. The Really Really Pig Show, our community arts fund-raising event for 2003, was a hog-wild success with the proceeds used to nurture the arts in our community. It’s "Brandon Thinks Outside of the Box”  is the theme of the Brandon Artists Guild public art project for 2008. For this year, 16 local artists have been given large (21” x 21” x 21”) wooden boxes and told to let their imaginations run wild. If past experience is any indication, the results are going to be spectacular.
