Overview
Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month 2009
The goal of Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month, taking place each November, is to illustrate the collective talent in our city and get people
involved in the arts. The month is not just for artists...it is an
opportunity for all community members to be an active part of Tacoma's
cultural life. Tacoma is ripe with activity and offers a multitude of
events. There really is something for everyone.

Opportunities
Art Slam
In celebration of the 8th anniversary of Art at Work: Tacoma
Arts Month, the Tacoma Arts Commission is hosting an Art Slam on
Wednesday, November 18, from 7 to 9 pm at the Rialto Theater in downtown
Tacoma
. This event was developed to provide an opportunity for local artists
to share a sampling of their work with their peers and the local
community.
What is an Art Slam? In a fast-paced format, a selection of work by
local visual and performing artists will be projected on the big screen,
set to a soundtrack of musical accompaniment. Live performances by
spoken word artists will be interspersed between segments of the show.
An accompanying description of artists’ work and contact information
will be included in a program.
Artists
of all mediums and genres will show their work, ranging from the very
accomplished to the up and coming. Everyone presents their work in the
same format. The Art Slam is a place for artists and art enthusiasts to
gather and share their work in a non-competitive atmosphere. The event
is meant to be a fun, relaxed and inspiring evening, reminding us why we
create art in the first place. Join us for a reception in the
Rialto
lobby following the event. This event is free and open to the public.
In addition to the live November 18 show, the Art Slam will be
available for free public viewing on Click! ON Demand’s TacomaArt
& Culture channel through December 2010. ON Demand is accessible to
anyone who is a Click! Cable TV customer with a digital receiver.
