The Visual Arts Center presents the Best of the Peace River Film Festival. For those not here in September, a mini-festival of the best films from the 2012 festival, will be on Jan. 11, 7 p.m., at the Punta Gorda Isles Civic Association, 2001 Shreve St. All tickets are $5 and are available online at visualartcenter.org, by phone at 941-639-8810 or at Visual Arts Center, 210 Maud St., in Punta Gorda.
