Museums may seem like loners, but the institutions get by with a little help from their friends. For a July exhibition, curators at the University of Kansas' Spencer Museum of Art teamed up with members of the community to choose themes and collection objects. Today is the final day to view the intimate Friends & Neighbors at the Spencer (1301 Mississippi in Lawrence). The exhibit includes works embodying "Satire and Survival" (selected by Joni Murphy and Nancy Mahaney), "Political Activism & Racial Discrimination" (Lynne Green and Susan Earle), "Isolation & Connectedness" (Molly Murphy and Kris Imants Ercums), and "Repetition & Pattern" (Reid Harrison and Stephen Goddard). The Spencer is open from noon to 4 p.m. today, and admission is free. See spencerart.ku.edu or call 785-864-4710.— Cal
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Thursdays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Sundays, 12-4 p.m. Starts: July 1. Continues through Aug. 2, 2009
