Overview

Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month 2009

The goal of Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month, taking place each November, is to illustrate the collective talent in our city and get people involved in the arts. The month is not just for artists...it is an opportunity for all community members to be an active part of Tacoma's cultural life. Tacoma is ripe with activity and offers a multitude of events. There really is something for everyone.

Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month 2008

November 2008 marked the 7th anniversary of Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month in Tacoma. As part of the festivities, the Tacoma Arts Commission hosted its third annual Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month Opening Celebration at the Tacoma Art Museum, a two-day tour of artists' studios, an Art Slam at the Rialto Theater, and a two-day Arts Symposium. Along with these events, a multitude of individuals, businesses, and organizations hosted hundreds of community organized arts events. And it all happened in 30 days!
