The Brandon League of Fine Arts “Symphony of Color” Fine Art Exhibit (May 2026) was a vibrant, judged group exhibition organized by the Brandon League of Fine Arts (BLFA) in Brandon, Florida. Held at the Center Place Fine Arts & Civic Association (619 Vonderburg Drive, Brandon, FL 33511), the show celebrated color as a dynamic, expressive force in visual art — described by organizers and participating artists as “a beautiful celebration of rhythm, movement, and color through visual art” and “a dynamic group exhibition celebrating the powerful, expressive language of color.”
The community celebration featured a massive lineup of attractions tailored to the region’s famous fruit:
- 80+ Local Vendors: Shoppers browsed a wide variety of local artisans, craft stalls, and community booths.
- Blueberry Treats: Specialty hot and cold blueberry-inspired foods, desserts, and drinks.
- Live Entertainment: Three live bands performed throughout the day, including the Oak Hill Drifters, Lauris Vidal, and Skinny McGee.
- Family Activities: A pancake breakfast, cornhole and bingo games, a kid’s family zone, and community art shows.
Key details:
- Public viewing dates (free and open to the public):
- Thursday, May 21, 2026 — 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
- Friday, May 22, 2026 — 10 a.m.–8 p.m. (with Reception & Awards Ceremony 6–8 p.m.)
- Saturday, May 23, 2026 — 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
- Followed by a private viewing period (May 24–June 2) and a virtual show (June 3–30, 2026).
As of early June 2026, the in-person public portion has concluded, but many pieces remain viewable through the league’s virtual extension or artist pages. The exhibit featured works by Florida artists working in a variety of media. It was open to all skill levels and styles, with submissions judged on how effectively they used color to create visual “symphonies.” In short, “Symphony of Color” was a joyful, community-focused fine-art showcase that turned the walls of Center Place into a vivid explosion of hue, rhythm, and creativity — perfectly in keeping with Brandon’s long-standing support for local artists since the BLFA was founded in 1959.
