Studio Tour brochure

You can pick up a full color Studio Tour Booklet at many local coffee shops, arts organizations, colleges, and community centers, and you can also download a PDF version here later this summer!

Take the tour – and take art home with you!

Make sure to have your Studio Tour Passport stamped at each studio address you visit. Once you’ve collected at least 7 stamps, send us the passport and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of several fabulous prize packages.

One entry per person. The Tacoma Studio Tour Passport can be found in the Tacoma Studio Tour brochure (available at all studio locations during the tour and at many cultural institutions ahead of time) or download and print your own Tacoma Studio Tour Passport.
