Ending soon: Free Sunday admission at Old Cowtown Museum

Noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at Old Cowtown Museum, 1865 W. Museum Blvd.

This Sunday is your last chance to take advantage of free admission at Wichita’s living history museum.

Some Sundays are exempt, though, including Oct. 25 during the Coffins and Cobwebs at Cowtown event (the cost is $5 that day and hours are noon to 7 p.m.).

This Sunday, take in daily activities performed by costumed interpreters and explore the buildings and artifacts that tell the story of what life was like just off the Chisholm Trail during the 1865-1880 timeframe.

Free: “Air, Land & Sea” photography exhibit

8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at Riney Fine Arts Gallery, 2100 W. University Ave.

A collection of Brett Schauf’s photography is on exhibition through Oct. 30 at Riney Fine Arts Gallery on the campus of Friends University. “Air, Land & Sea” combines three of Schauf’s passions: aviation, landscape and travel photography. You’ll see flying warbirds, mountain landscapes, ocean vistas and more that Schauf has captured when not busy with his daily commercial and portrait work. For the past five years, the Wichita-based photographer has been the lead photographer for Doc, one of only two airworthy Boeing B-29 Superfortress aircraft left in the world.

You can also view the gallery online at rineygallery.com, and see an artist talk posted on the gallery’s Facebook page.

On Thursday, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation in Montana, talks about her complex paintings and prints that deliver humorous and poignant socio-political commentary.
