The Ulrich Museum of Art makes it easy to enjoy so many different exhibits and styles of expression that you will come back again and again for the compelling artwork. Seeing great works of art is a given at this museum, but your senses will really be treated when you attend an "Art for Your Ears" event; a concert series that features live performances by local and regional musicians. Other features of the Ulrich include special programs for all ages, as well as workshops and materials for teachers and other education professionals.

While exploring the city, be sure to take time out to visit a true symbol of Wichita. You'll find the Keeper of the Plains monument in the heart of the city, where the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers meet. The statue was erected in 1974 to commemorate the United States Bicentennial.

Some of the world's best-loved stories are told through the artistry of the Ballet Wichita. Combining classical masterpieces as its soundtrack, such notable productions like Alice in Wonderland, Swan Lake and La Boheme are presented by some of the area's most accomplished performers. Their skills are only accentuated all the more by the stellar musicianship of their accompanying orchestra, the sets and backdrops that help tell the story, and the tireless work of many stage managers, costumers and directors. The Wichita's clever slogan is true when they say that every year is a leap year for them and their audiences.

The Cotillion is synonymous with great live music and performances by today's best rock, country, and alternative groups. Anybody who's anybody out on tour right now will more than likely have a gig booked at the Cotillion. A superb sound system, seating arrangements that can accommodate up to 2,000 people, as well as accommodations available for private parties and weddings; it's no wonder that the Cotillion is celebrating its 50th year as one of Wichita's essential entertainment and nightlife hubs.
