Tacoma is a living, breathing example of the powerful positive impact art can have on a community. So it's not surprising to see Saturday bringing an event at Tacoma Art Place simply known as Community Art Day. And the title pretty much says it all. Expect workshops, demonstrations and family fun all day, and all for free. There's a raffle and silent auction too! The Weekly Volcano is a proud sponsor of Community Art Day.
Plein Air Drawing: Large easels under a tent outside all day long for anyone who wants to draw.
