What to see, do in Wichita this Final Friday (Aug. 25)

This month, we’re switching up the way we do Final Friday listings here at the Eagle.

Instead of one alphabetical list with everything lumped together, we’re separating the shows by medium.

That way, if you’re looking just to see photography, you’ll know where to go. Likewise for paintings, sculpture, dance or new media.

Let me know what you think of this format, or if you have any suggestions for better ways to do Final Friday listings from here on out. You can reach me at mriedl@wichitaeagle.com or 316-268-6660.
