“I had a really great time! I like the DIY nature of every space being open to have neighbors experience where art is being made in our city. It brings us together in community around a common thing—art and creativity. I also like how Tacoma Arts facilitates the event with printed material and media blasts but then enjoys the events and allows artists to create our own worlds at our respective studios. I love that!”
25 Years of Tacoma Arts Month
Since 2002, Tacoma Arts Month has brought artists, neighbors, and communities together. This year we celebrate 25 years of creativity, connection, and culture rooted in every corner of Tacoma.
