Mi Centro and Tacoma Art Museum (TAM), with support from Tacoma Creates, were excited to present the “El Noroeste” art exhibition highlighting local Chicano/Latine art from across Washington State at TAM. The exhibition was on view from Saturday, September 23, until October 1, 2023. Here’s a recap of our opening reception!
