Thanks to an active artists' guild, Brandon is making a name for itself. In 2003 the Brandon Artists Guild, led by American folk artist Warren Kimble, auctioned 40 life-size fiberglass pigs painted by local artists. The "Really Really Pig Show" raised money for the guild (as well as other organizations) and brought fame to this once overlooked community. Since then themes have been birdhouses, rocking chairs, artist palettes, cats and dogs, and in 2008, "Thinking Outside the Box." The works are spread throughout town.
