The Winter Community Festival at Tacoma Art Museum Only Comes Once A Year!
Tacoma Art Museum invites visitors to escape the cold and come inside the museum to create and connect with art for the holidays. Come dressed in your holiday garb (or wear your favorite ugly holiday sweater) and have a family portrait taken in the Mighty Tacoma exhibition. Local youth from the Grant Center for the Expressive Arts, and the Rainier Ringers, a community-based English handbell choir, will fill the museum with joyful music. Hear local Tacoma poets read their poetry to Peter Serko’s photography. All day long enjoy decorating gingerbread cookies, engage in art activities such as creating a paper snowflake snowstorm, and crafting your own holiday card. Take care of some holiday shopping in the Museum Store (where everything will be 10-percent off all weekend long) or at our Urban Craft Fair that features local vendors.

Schedule of Events:
12:15 pm Winter Music Classics by the Grant Center for the Expressive Arts
1:30 pm Rainier Ringers English Handbell Choir
3 pm Tacoma Poetry Reading from 20/20: Tacoma in Images and Voice

So come on down and support the Tacoma Art Museum and get your portrait drawn by the CLAW!

Time     Month of November

Location               Amocat Cafe    625 St. Helens Ave

For the month of November, your favorite local cartoonists will be showing some art at the Amocat cafe. These little glimpses will include finished works by individual members and may include a chance to bring home your very own copy.

Please stop in to Amocat. Buy some coffee. Browse some art. Maybe buy some art. Admire the CLAW work…then run home and call every single person you know firmly instructing them to do the same. Rinse and repeat.

A huge thanks from all of us at the Cartoonist’s League to all of you for the support and encouragement! Viva the absurdity!!!

Enjoy the show!
