Artists from across Southcentral Minnesota descended on Saint Peter today to showcase their work. Hosted by the Prairie Lakes Regional Arts Council, the third–annual artist–grantee exhibition features 17 artists that were awarded grants ranging from $1,000 to $3,000. The council serves the nine–county area in south central Minnesota providing programs for developing the local arts.
