“The Office” Trivia
Worrying that we will not be able to meet our 8% quarterly sales growth, we have set out to present a trivia night focused on the award-winning American version of “The Office,” a mockumentary sitcom based around the mythical Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, and all of the crazy characters that work in the office. Trivia will be based on all (nine) seasons, with a mix of question formats. 7 p.m. Free. Valley Bar: 130 N. Central Ave. Phoenix AZ; Valleybarphx.com // @valleybarphx

Oscar Muñoz: Invisibilia
Oscar Muñoz: Invisibilia is the first mid-career survey of Colombian artist Oscar Muñoz’s work in the United States.

Altered Focus Exhibit Opening
Artists keep their inspiration flowing by trying new ways of looking at subject matter, new ways of using the materials they are familiar with, or using completely new materials — abandoning the comfort of remaining on any previously achieved plateau. In this exhibition, the Waterworks Artists have gone in new directions, without the constraint of having to paint in any single way, and with the freedom to try new subjects, styles and techniques. 6 p.m. Free. Herberger Theater Center: 222 East Monroe St. Phoenix, AZ; herbergertheater.org // @herbergertheater
