The preview features art by local young artists instructed by art educator Le Ann Hale of the Purple Turtle Art Studio. The full exhibition runs October 9 through December 18 at the James R. Reynolds Gallery in Texas A&M's Memorial Student Center. Meet the contributors, see a live paste-up by BEAST, and welcome special guests at the Reynolds Gallery on October 9 from 2–4 PM.

Scream — Halloween Movies at The Queen
The Queen Theatre wraps up Halloween week with a screening of Scream, a fitting choice for the last stretch before Halloween. Watching it at the Queen is half the appeal: the restored 1930s theatre on South Main offers reclining seats and food and drink service right at your seat during the movie. Make it a Wednesday night out downtown with friends, maybe dinner nearby first. Check the Queen's listing for showtime and ticket details before heading over.
