The Lawrence, Kansas, arts community has been hosting Final Friday with help from a variety of civic and cultural organizations. For a solid year, there was a comprehensive calendar of venues and exhibitions mailed around and published, but I have not been able to find it lately.

Be sure, though, that there are more venues open than listed here, and whether you live in Lawrence or drive out west for about an hour, a quality viewing experience awaits.

Here are some highlights (a few other details and exhibitions can be found on lawrence.com here; the most comprehensive listing is at Final Fridays Lawrence):
