In a Nutshell

First-annual art show invites visual artists to show their creations and compete for prizes

The Fine Print

An art collection adds to the ambiance of a home and distracts family members from the fact that there are no walls. Cover up architectural absence with this GrouponLive deal to The Evansville Fine Art Show at The Centre. For $8, you get two one-day passes for general admission (up to a $16 value). The show runs from Friday, November 16, at 11 a.m. to Sunday, November 18, at 5 p.m. Children 12 and younger are admitted free.

Visual artists flock to Evansville in mid-November for a three-day celebration of original, handmade, visual treasures. After Mayor Lloyd Winnecke wields oversize shears to cut the ribbon and make a gigantic paper doll, guests head into The Centre to peruse and purchase original hand-made sculptures, paintings, photographs, jewelry, and mixed-media artworks or talk to the artists who personally made them. Participating creators contend for a portion of $1,500 in prizes awarded by a jury, and winners earn an automatic invitation to next year’s show. In the Emerging Artists section, patrons can check out offerings from students at the University of Evansville and the University of Southern Indiana, and the Youth Art section invites contributors ages 13–19 to supply their best work. When they aren’t hobnobbing with established and rising creators from across the Midwest, guests enjoy music, food, and live art demonstrations.

The Groupon Guide to: Basketball Plays

Though it might seem like basketball players are just running around to maintain enough sweat to look beautiful on television, they are actually running complex offensive plays. Here are some simple plays that you can try out next time you hit the hardtop:

Dribble Drive: Each offensive player grabs a basketball and dribbles to the hoop. The one who dribbles fastest wins the points.

Pick and Roll: One of the players "picks" which teammate he believes will be the one to shoot the ball. If he is correct, the player that took the shot has to call a timeout so he can immediately get his reward—a "roll" filled with ham and creamed corn.

Backdoor Cut: This is considered the trickiest play in basketball because it requires the offensive team to distract the defense by having their coach put on a top hat, wander onto the court, and ask the defensive players if they'd like to see what his head looks like without a top hat. If the defensive players ignore the coach's distraction, the offensive players should blow on the defenders' eyes until the dryness becomes unbearable.

Which basketball player was voted most beautiful?
