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 Slam: November 18, 2009

In celebration of the 8th anniversary of Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month, the Tacoma Arts Commission hosted an Art Slam on Wednesday, November 18 at the Rialto Theater in downtown Tacoma.

What is an Art Slam? In a fast-paced format, a selection of work by local visual and performing artists was projected on the big screen, set to a soundtrack of musical accompaniment. Live dance and spoken word performances were interspersed between segments of the show. Artists of all mediums and genres showed their work, ranging from the very accomplished to the up and coming. 

You can view the 2009 Art Slam by clicking here. To view the video, you must have Windows Media Player. If you don't already have Windows Media Player installed, please download their free player by clicking here.

The Art Slam is also available for free public viewing on Click! ON Demand’s TacomaArt & Culture channel through December 2010. ON Demand is accessible to anyone who is a Click! Cable TV customer with a digital receiver.
