LETTERS OF WISDOM >>>
Artist James Sinding has turned Tacoma's Tollefson Plaza into a different type of hangout with his Letters exhibition - and harnessed more creative brain juices from its contributing artists than most group art shows can muster. As part of Spaceworks Tacoma Sinding dumped 5 square yards of 12-inch painted wooden letters into the middle of Tollefson Plaza then extended an open invitation for passersby to write a poem, or read the thoughts of others.
The Weekly Volcano dropped by Tollefson Plaza today for the exhibit's opening. We enjoyed the sinuous curve that creates an s, the sturdy heft of the h and the awkward crook of the "r."
The exhibit runs through Aug. 30. Drop by for a spell.
News and entertainment from Joint Base Lewis-McChord’s most awesome weekly newspapers - The Ranger, Northwest Airlifter and Weekly Volcano.
Thanks for posting! But I want say that Walkie Talkies are really required while organizing fun...

Met James at T Plaza (or is it Pacific Plaza?).
Love his concept. It's good to see Tacoma setting a trend instead always following.

Tacoma Art Museum's Summer Festival was great fun for all involved, from the letters and chalk art on the plaza to the koi kite-making and flying, Northwest talent show, and exhibits in the museum, and landscape drawing on the balcony. Our family was entertained for much of the day.

ugh, i wish "tacompton" was never uttered or written again. it is so incredibly corny and stupid. i find that those who take pride in it and like to repeat it are cornyass people who wouldn't know what to do if they actually lived in a tough town. i love tacoma and know that it damn sure isn't anything like compton.

Dear "stop it",
Agreed.
Love,
Steph
