Seeing rouge at WAM

The WAM Contemporaries – the art museum’s under-50 social crowd – are throwing the party to support the museum. The 8-to-11 p.m. event includes food, drink, music and dancing girls. Tickets are $140 online at wamcolorparty.com or by calling 316-268-4912. Oh, and be sure to dress in a shade of rouge.

Workroom artisan market

The Workroom will have its second annual Outdoor Artisan Market on Saturday in the Douglas Design District. The event will feature more than 30 local artisans as well as food trucks, live music and Davis Liquor sampling. The market will be from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 150 N. Cleveland at the storefront that features home decor, primarily made locally and regionally, and design services. Artwork, jewelry, children’s dolls and clothing, candles and soaps will be among the items at the market, which kicks off a season of markets that will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each second Saturday through October at The Workroom.

Falconaires concert

The Falconaires, a band from the U.S. Air Force Academy, will give a free concert of traditional and modern-arrangement jazz at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Friends University. The academy’s bands are made up of airmen for the purpose of boosting morale, aiding recruitment and reaching out to the community. The concert will be in Sebits Auditorium on the campus at 2100 W. University. Even though the concert is free, tickets should be reserved in advance; call Friends at 316-295-5677. For more about the band: www.usafacademyband.af.mil.
