ART AT FUN >>>
The Tacoma art community came together last night for the Art at Work: Tacoma Arts Month kickoff party inside the Tacoma Art Museum. The celebration paid tribute to local artists and contributors, like glass artist/DJ/Fulcrum Gallery owner Oliver Doriss, nonprofit hip-hop arts group Fab-5, and Urban Grace Cfurch, winners of the 2010 AMOCAT awards for artist, organization and patron outreach, respectively. This party - which featured music and performances by members of the Tacoma Symphony, Tacoma Youth Symphony, Tacoma Opera and Tacoma Musical Playhouse, as well as hors d'oeuvres, desserts and a non-host bar - also paid tribute to Tacoma Artists Initiative Program grant recipients, Spaceworks Tacoma (applause for the property owners), and the dedicated work of the Tacoma Arts Commission.
Special shout out goes to 2009 Soul of the City Tacoma Poet Laureate Antonio Edwards for igniting the "shout outs" last night during the official ceremony. They were an art onto themselves.
I learned a few things last night, too. There's still room at 2010 Soul of the City Tacoma Poet Laureate Tammy Robacker's Poetry Writers Workshop Sunday, Nov. 7 inside Urban Grace Church; you can find cool glasses at Pearle Vision in Tacoma; Blue Hair Dave (Who Cares, Johnny Bobalouie) is on the verge of releasing a solo album; always buy insurance for your cell phone; fab5org.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">RR Anderson has created cool RR buttons; Fab-5 is beyond fab (nice to see you again, Jason!); the Weekly Volcano has scored SOTA interns this winter.
Weekly Volcano photographer J.M. Simpson snapped a few shots of the party last night. You may see the batch in our Photo Hot Spot.
