Creative Aging (50+) is a free monthly program designed to inspire and connect. 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
March’s exhibition focus pulls from Gossip: Between Us, featuring porcelain artwork by artist Saya Moriyasu, whose practice is inspired by her heritage.
Our hands-on project will be kumihimo braided cords. Join Job Carr Cabin Museum at Tacoma Art Museum for a fiber arts craft using the traditional Japanese technique of kumihimo. This beautiful method of creating gathered threads has been used for hundreds of years.
