Tacoma’s Art at Work Month has become a Godzilla’s feast of literary, visual and performing arts. Is there any other town of comparable size in the Western Hemisphere that has anything to match it every November?  We don’t think so.

The Tacoma Arts Commission asks for your arts activities for November 2008 early so it may plan their seventh annual Art at Work Month. They seek a variety of activities spanning all categories of art including but not limited to music, visual art, literary art, dance, theater, and film.

TACOMA ARTS COMMISSION NEWS RELEASE: If you will be hosting an exhibition, performance, class, workshop, reception, lecture, tour, artists’ market, celebration, meeting, presentation, or myriad of other programming, let us know. We will list your arts event in the Art at Work Month brochure for free; over 12,000 copies of this brochure are distributed throughout the region. We will also be promoting the many events going on throughout the month in posters, special promo pieces, at www.TacomaCulture.org, and in advertisements and articles in local and regional papers and magazines.

This month would not be possible without the participation of local businesses, organizations, and community members. We encourage you to participate by hosting your own arts activity or event.

Deadline for submissions is August 18, 2008. To qualify, your arts activity must be located within the City of Tacoma limits and occur during the month of November.
