One of the peculiar events also includes Art in Public Places, which occurs on the third Wednesday of every month. Apart from these events, there are several exhibitions ongoing in this toiling city like One of Us occurring in the late February, Larry Akers: Fluid Patterns, Interwoven, and Kambui Olujimi: Zulu Time, centering around the month of July.
