What to see, do in Wichita this Final Friday (Aug. 31, 2018)

Another month has drawn to a conclusion, which means it’s time for Final Friday.

Every Final Friday, galleries and other businesses keep their doors open late, showcasing artwork in the name of a citywide gallery crawl.

All events are free unless otherwise noted.

This month, we’re reviving our Final Friday gallery listings after a few months of dropping the feature. If you’d like to see this list remain a staple in the Eagle, please email me your thoughts at mriedl@wichitaeagle.com.

In the meantime, use this guide to help plan your Friday evening on the town:
