D.M. Wealth Management (201 E. Main) will host artist Walt Disney. Disney took a few art classes while at OSU, which he thought would help him in the advertising field.

He was attracted to the brilliant colors and style of the artists he saw while vacationing in New Mexico and The Caribbean. Frank Lawrence will be their musical guest.
The Depot Gallery (200 S. Jones) will continue Variations on Themes, an exhibit of paintings by Dr. Jim Cobb, with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. The exhibit, in the newly restored Santa Fe Depot, continues through August 25. “There are so many subjects from which to choose” Dr. Cobb says. “This is true every day when I arrive at the studio. My aim, as an artist, and for this show at The Depot, is to select a variety of themes to make it interesting and to try to convince the viewer (as well as myself) that I am reasonably capable of painting all of them. There will be classical and jazz guitar by Tate Slatton from 7 to 9 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
Earth Rebirth (325 E Comanche) will have music, concession and games to support their garden program!
