Art students sometimes have shows. You might be able to buy their art, if that's in the cards. Pet the cats, enjoy excellent use of church space. Check out the Bijou's web site for show times and film synopses. All Bo Derek is free, and you will be hard pressed to find a wider selection of foreign and classic films on tape in this town.
Owner is good to ask for advice.
You've paid for the privilege. Get your work done early and hit up the foreign students' moving-out sales at the end of the term. Find estate sales and get there early. Internet shop, if you've got the subsidized loan. A yuppie home and garden store.
