••• Fun event tonight at the Museum of Contemporary Art: artist Adriana Arriaga “will be leading a hands-on workshop featuring some seriously spooky characters. Inspired by Mexican folklore, Adriana created three images that represent the stories of la llorona, el cucuy, and el chupacabra. These images have been turned into coloring pages for people to enjoy and share their experiences with these stories.” I want all three! And more! It’s 6-8 p.m., and you can buy drinks.

••• An exhibit titled What’s in Our Drawers—frisky!—opens tomorrow at the Museum of Natural History: “Of the millions of objects in our care only a very small proportion are on display, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t being used. Specimens and artifacts are an important source for reference and research. […] This special exhibit offers a rare chance to see behind-the-scenes from the perspective of our curatorial staff working in anthropology, invertebrate zoology, vertebrate zoology, and earth science. Treasures from our permanent collections will be showcased with specially selected objects and artifacts as well as antique natural history prints.”
