Derby Arts Council: Veteran Art Show at the Derby Public Library

The exhibit is set to run Aug. 31 through Oct. 22 and will collect works from veteran artists across all mediums (fiber arts, photography, painting, metalwork, etc.) to be shown in the Gathering Space Gallery and display case at the library entrance.

As part of the exhibit, there will be awards up for grabs, with Aug. 4 the deadline to submit entries. There will also be a public reception — and awards presentation — for the exhibit on Sept. 18.

Join us for a special event to view USD259 K-12 students’ artwork on display at the Wichita Art Museum! Exhibition on Display: September 19 – November 29, 2026

Submission to the USD259 Student Art Gallery is coordinated by Wichita Public Schools. Entries are selected by participating teachers, and individual students should contact their teacher for participation details.

Art is not only for Art Museums. If a picture is worth a thousand words, it stands to reason that art can tell us a lot about the times and place where it was produced. Local history museums exist to explore time and place.

Featuring works from C.A. Seward, John Noble, Edmund Davison, Birger Sandzen, Bruce McGrew, and more!

On view on the Historical Museum's 3rd Floor, throughout 2026 as part of the ongoing Lois Kay Walls visual art exhibition series produced by the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum.

Please join us if you could use an hour of deep relaxation!

"Imagine Mose Allison or Tom Waits on steroids and a few too many cups of coffee having a jam session with Los Lobos or Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers" says Jim Vegas, cracking a smile while describing his records . His original “alternative blues” tunes are firmly planted in the territory he has become known for: the intersection of Blues, Jazz, and Rock & Roll.

Drenched in energy and originality, Jim and his band have a fire in the belly to convey the messages contained in the songs. It is obvious this band isn't playing around.

Laughing For All The Wrong Reasons is a hilarious celebration of comedy — drawing from The Second City’s legendary archive of iconic sketches and songs, alongside the razor-sharp improvisation that has defined the company for generations. This show dives headfirst into the material audiences love most: unforgettable characters, classic moments, and brilliantly irreverent comedy created on our stages by some of the most influential voices in entertainment, including Catherine O’Hara, Tina Fey, Keegan-Michael Key, Amber Ruffin, Stephen Colbert, Tim Meadows, Bill Murray, Tim Robinson, Eugene Levy, Adam McKay, and many more.

Brought to the McCain stage by an exceptional cast, Laughing For All The Wrong Reasons hits on something rare: comedy that makes you laugh harder because it’s so painfully, beautifully true.

Contains adult humor. Not appropriate for children under 13.
