​ ________________________________ [Tacoma Arts Month 2018] October 28, 2018 October was Just the Beginning. October may be just a memory at this point but there are thousands of arts and culture events to explore in Tacoma the other 11 months of the year. The organizations and artists that were showcased this October produce programming year round for your enjoyment and enrichment. Don't stop with October; visit your local artists' studios, enroll in a workshop, explore an exhibit, and continue to connect with your community year round. As we wrap up Tacoma's 17th annual Tacoma Arts Month, we want to take a moment to thank the hundreds of artists, businesses, organizations, and patrons who help bring the arts to life in Tacoma. While you are out enjoying these final art events, take a picture and post to social media with #TacomaArtsMonth (make sure your post is public) by Nov. 1st. You'll automatically be entered into a drawing to win a fabulous prize.
