PETERSBURG - Hurry! The final opportunity to view the popular Petersburg on My Mind art exhibit by Catherine Venable in Old Towne is this Saturday.
Venable and her two sisters Sharon Leahman and Carolyn Wenrich share their passion for art and storytelling through exquisite quilts and paintings on display at the Petersburg Area Art League [PAAL].
When I arrived, two of the three sisters wearing vibrant colors just like in their artwork were busy sharing stories with gallery visitors. We had quite a lot more people than expected for a town this size, said quilter Sharon Leahman. It s been thrilling putting different colors together and making patterns work.

PETERSBURG - One of the Friday for the Arts! venues just got a makeover thanks to a dedicated patron of the arts.
Bill Nicholson who owns the historic Thomas Day House on High Street in Petersburg was bit by the decorating bug. Giving Petersburg Area Art League s Main Gallery a fresh coat of pain was Nicholson s project on a whim.
On Wednesday, Nicholson was tickled Revere Pewter , and he wasn t the only one.
PAAL President Victoria Revilla was ecstatic and grateful for Nicholson s mission to spruce up the Main Gallery.
