Art in Ulysses
The Main ARTery, an art gallery at 103 S. Main St. in Ulysses, is celebrating the fifth annual "Rendezvous with the Arts" exhibit.
The exhibit features the work of 14 artists from Ulysses, Johnson, Satanta, Syracuse, Beaver, Okla., and Springfield, Colo. The theme of the exhibit is "Black and White," and many of the works are available for purchase. The exhibit continues through Oct. 30.
By special invitation, the "Clay Junkies," a group of area artists reportedly "addicted to clay," will also have their work on display.
Artists receptions marking the opening of the exhibit are scheduled for 7 to 9 p.m. today and 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Today's reception features wine samplings and door prizes, and Saturday's features punch and cookies and a drawing for door prizes.

The exhibit continues through Sept. 8.
A night at the movies
Stauth Memorial Museum in Montezuma has scheduled a series of movie nights in conjunction with the current exhibit, "Memories of World War II: Photographs from the Archives of the Associated Press."
