Each session offers enriching gallery conversations centered on current exhibitions, hands-on art workshops, and welcoming community time. Open to adults aged 50 and over, the program nurtures creativity, supports well-being, fosters meaningful friendships, and deepens personal connections to the Tacoma Art Museum’s collection and the vibrant work of regional artists. It is held the 1st Saturday of each month.
Exhibition and Art Project
February’s exhibition focus is The One-Two Punch: 100 Years of Robert Colescott, where we will discuss Colescott’s drawings and use of color in his art.
