DESCRIPTION
Tacoma Art Museum has a rep for being way too hip for being so far south - but then, that's Tacoma in general these days. .
TAM is a thought-provoking, inspiring venue for modern masters and Northwest works, performances and installation pieces. The museum reports it has the largest public collection of Dale Chihuly glass works anywhere. It's also known for innovative exhibits exploring a range of popular-culture and historical subjects: socially conscious art; work inspired by the worlds of artificial intelligence, sci-fi, fantasy and high tech; and pieces exploring culture and diversity. Art classes and workshops for kids and adults, arts festivals, juried competitions and basic art history or exhibit-related lectures are mainstays.
