Circuit Courthouse 7 Courthouse Avenue, open Wednesday through Saturday, ten to four Special Event: Petersburg Haunts, a 90-minute ghost walk through historic downtown Petersburg. Tours are Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:00 pm, beginning September 12 and continuing through November 22. Costumed, lantern-carrying storytellers guide you on a leisurely 90-minute tour that takes you through 400 years of history, legends, untimely deaths, and—of course—ghosts. “Downtown Petersburg offers a wealth of hauntings,” says Rhonda Lucas Donald, the Petersburg resident who researched and wrote the tour. “There are so many, in fact, that we have added new stops and stories to this year’s tour. So if you went last year, there are new ghosts to meet, and some of the old ghosts are up to new tricks!” One of the ghosts has a heavy step, another complains when the dogs bark. There’s a playful spirit, a war-weary soldier, and even a ghost who crashes parties. Stop by some of the most historic buildings in town, including Centre Hill Mansion, Nathaniel Friend House (Wabi-Sabi), Brickhouse Run, Raftery’s Poultry Market, J. Harrison Salon, Trapezium House, Benjamin Watkins Leigh House, Dodson’s Tavern, the Siege Museum, and Hiram Haines’ Coffee and Ale House. Tour guides will tell you about some of the city’s most prominent residents and famous visitors, such as Edgar Allan Poe, who honeymooned here in 1836. You’ll learn about past events that may lead the spirits to hang around and replay their tragedies—much to the enjoyment of everyone who takes the tour. Tours begin on the steps of the Courthouse, just off Sycamore. The cost is $15 per person.

Petersburg Area Art League 7 E. Old St., (804) 861-4611, www.paalart.com, open Wednesday-Friday, 11 am to 5 pm, Saturday 10 am until 4 pm. Opening Reception: New Exhibit: Main Gallery: Digital Photo Collages, featuring seventeen pieces by artist and photographer Clark Ball. All the works are printed on canvas and created digitally, combining his love for photography, art and computers. Ball was born and raised in Washington, D.C., the son of a photographer and a painter. He has been a photographer since a very early age, borrowing his father’s cameras and learning film processing and darkroom techniques to make creative and unique prints. He received his BFA in Sculpture and minor in Painting and Printmaking and Electronic Music from VCU. After graduation he began song-writing, performing, and playing in various bands in the Richmond area, focusing artistic energies on his music as his primary creative outlet. He has been an IT professional and musician for the last 25 years and currently plays bass in the country band, The Honky Tonk Experience. “Earlier this year, I discovered a unique software applica-tion that allowed me to combine two separate images in any way I choose, by using a touch pad and my own index finger,” explains Ball. “Instead of having to use a mouse, keyboard or other technological means, I found that I really enjoyed the tactile aspect of making images in this way, and that I felt much more connected to the work. It’s like finger painting with photos as my paint.” Ball further explains that his goal is to combine seem-ingly unrelated objects or textures together into something unique or surreal. Through November 8. Opens at 6:00 pm for Friday for the Arts! Don’t miss!
