Weekly Events in Delano

Monday Night Jazz with Craig Owens and the Bodo Ensemble

Craig Owens, Miki Masuda and Steve Hatfield will be continuing their Monday Jazz Nights at The Blank Page, often joined by students and/or friends during their last set, so you never know who'll be playing with the Ensemble each week!

Film House Tuesdays

The Blank Page is showing movies every Tuesday at 7:30 pm, with a suggested donation of $3. The films are those that all too often remain out of the public eye.

Wednesday - Blank Verse Open Mic Night

Every Wednesday night from 7 - 10:30, The Blank Page - 917 W. Douglas - hosts an open mic night. Blank Verse is Wichita's most diverse Open Mic! With poets, musicians, ranters, rhymers, and comedians, all in regular rotation, it is an open mic whose mic truly is open to all and never empty. Along with the microphone, ample seating, coffee/tea, and snacks are provided. Come down and see local artists honing their craft, and support local live art!

Twist Yarn Shop - 607 W. Douglas - hosts a Stitch & Bitch every Thursday night from 6-8 pm. We encourage crafters of all skills (knit, crochet, cross-stitch or whatever) to come and hang out.

Sunday - Life Drawing Studio

Sundays from Noon - 4 pm The Blank Page sponsors a Life Drawing Studio. Life Drawing Studio is open to artists only, whether amateur, professional, or otherwise. Anyone who is neither sketching nor modeling will be asked to leave, This is to promote a comfortable environment where skills may be practiced without pressure or interruption. We provide coffee, tea and often baked goods for refreshments. Please note: we do not furnish suppliesÑeasels are available for use, and sketch paper may be purchased from the gallery by the sheet. So, come enjoy the afternoon, hidden away in plain sight, creating, relaxing and learning. There is a new model weekly, usually professional, occasionally beginners.
