▪ Wichita State University’s Ulrich Museum of Art has “Art for your Ears” with the band Moreland & Arbuckle tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. It’s part of a summer concert series. The event says to bring a lawn chair and that the museum will provide refreshments. In the event of rain, the location will be moved to the WSU Campus Activities Center.
