Top Four March Final Friday Picks

March Final Friday should be interesting, as it is in the middle of when KU time slot in the NCAA Tournament.  Some venues will open early.
Here are our top four picks for this month's Final Friday:

Wonder Fair: The Secret Order of the Black Diamond
803 1/2 Massachusetts 6-10pm

Wonder Fair has a mysterious Final Friday planned in conjuction with their Kickstarter project "The Secret Order of the Black Diamond."
Here is what Wonder Fair says about this project ""Following a series of clues left by the mysterious Black Diamonds, patrons may find themselves discovering new hobbies, magical places, learning new skills, or even stumbling upon hidden troves of art, all free for the taking. For indeed, there is art to be found and obtained from our Secret Order—but none of it will be kept within the walls of Wonder Fair…"

mARTch Madness 1109 Gallery
1109 Massachusetts Street

We stopped by this show earlier this week, and were very impressed with some of the art work. The concept is based on the NCAA Basketball Championship.  Starting with 64 artists, judges decide who goes forward to the next round. After Wednesdays' winners are announced, the field is narrowed to 32.  Friday night will unveil the top winners of the 32 remaining artists who will advance to the next round. All art entered will be shown on Final Friday.
