Valentines Day is just around the corner and the Johnson Center for the Arts has some really sweet deals for sweethearts that will also support the arts in Pike County.

Brenda Campbell, JCA director, said those who take advantage of the opportunities offered through the JCA Valentine Sale, will also be supporting the arts at the downtown Troy arts center.

“The Johnson Center has art exhibitions that feature local, state and nationally acclaimed artists throughout the year,” Campbell said. “And, the JCA is a complete arts center that also features music, dance and the performing arts. The Valentine Sale will assist the JCA in providing arts opportunities for all ages, locally and throughout the region.

The JCA Valentine Sale will include a wide selection of items including jewelry, events, gift certificates, adventures and original artwork.

Campbell said the sale items may be viewed at httpps://jcatroy.org/sweet-deals-for-your-sweetheart.
