Culture Events
Photo Safaris
The City of Tacoma's Photo Safaris provide a unique opportunity for
local photographers, both amateur and professional, to document
buildings and locations of historical significance. The safaris open up
locations which are usually unavailable for public tour and allow for
the documentation of the locations as well as provide a sense of history
about our city. Photographers are encouraged to share their experiences
with the community by submitting photographs made on the safari to an
exhibit at the Tacoma City Hall Gallery as well as online through Tacoma's
Photo Safari account on Flickr. The Photo Safaris are sponsored by
the City of Tacoma and the Tacoma Arts Commission.
Past photo safaris include trips to: the Tacoma Steam Plant, the Green
River Watershed, Old City Hall, the National Guard Armory, the
Pythian Temple, the First Presbyterian Church, and the Tacoma Art
Museum.
If you would like to know about future photo safaris and are not
currently on our email notification list, please email nstrom-avila@cityoftacoma.org.
Please note: these events have been extremely popular and, due to
capacity limitations, regularly fill up within 30 minutes of
notification being posted. While the safaris are free to attend,
registration is required and is first-come first-served.
