When concerts come to Petersburg, when there’s an art show or poetry reading, chances are the Petersburg Arts Council has its hands in the event.

Right now, the arts council is looking for more people to help keep the events happening.

To help raise money, they are selling raffle tickets for holiday gift baskets that include donated items from local artists. Those gift baskets will be raffled off on December 6.

Ashley Lohr is a local artist and part of the arts council. She stopped into KFSK to talk with Angela Denning about what the organization is up to.

If you want more information about the Petersburg Art Council, you can contact Ashley Lohr at (609) 233-5933.

Tickets for the art gift baskets can be purchased at Lee’s Clothing and other venues downtown. The baskets will soon be on display in the Rexall Drugstore window.
