COMMUNITY ART DAY TOMORROW >>>

The Tacoma Arts Commission's Art at Work month has been raising awareness of the city's cultural offerings among natives and visitors alike since the beginning of this month. "It's amazing to me how many people living here don't really know about Third Thursday Artwalk," points out Speakeasy Arts Cooperative Director Angela Jossy as we toured galleries and businesses last night on the Art Bus, adding that anyone who hasn't experienced the Tacoma Artwalk is truly missing out on a cool urban experience.

That's the issue the Tacoma Arts Commission aims to change. Bringing awareness to Third Thursday Artwalk as well as the Tacoma Studio Tours, the Arts Symposium weekend, Art Slam, and hundreds of arts, musical and educational events is the main objective of Art at Work month. The month-long arts focus is a way of saying, "Stop your moaning, Tacoma: Here's what you've been missing!"

To that end, one of the coolest annual events during Art at Work month goes down this Saturday on Hilltop Tacoma. Tacoma Art Place, the non-profit art center that provides creative types access to affordable equipment and training, hosts its annual Community Art Day Nov. 20 - an offering free to the community. The no cost workshops include:

  • 10.m. to 1 p.m.: card making and printing
  • 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.: rip art with Linnea Granryd
  • 1:30-4:30 p.m.: 3-D weaving with video tape

That's just a sample of the workshops available this Saturday. Keep an eye on TAP's website for additions. Also, all supplies will be provided.

Besides the awesome free workshops, TAP will host an hourly raffle with such prizes as annual TAP memberships, TAP T-shirts and free admission to future TAP classes. Also, a silent auction will run throughout the day with the opportunity to bid on a three-course dinner for two at Pacific Grill; a print by artist Michaela Eaves; a one-of-a-kind purse by fiber artist Bo Chambers; spa services from Electraspa and more.
