It is now week two of Tacoma Arts Month! We had a blast at Kaleidoscope 2018 last week and we hope you were able to join us - if not, don't worry: there's plenty more art to explore in Tacoma this month!
And don't forget to take the #TacomaArtsMonth Photo Challenge this month: Take a picture at any arts event this month, and use the hashtag #TacomaArtsMonth in the caption to be automatically entered to win a grand prize!
These newsletters will be
sent twice weekly throughout October - one highlighting weekday events and one
highlighting weekend events. For more information, go to TacomaArtsMonth.com or check out each
