TAM Docents: July Shifts and Updates

Hello Docents-

A few notes from today’s training for those who could not attend:

This was the last training until fall. I will send out the training schedule as soon as I am able to get firm confirmation on the dates and times.

Tonight is the Annual Meeting from 6 – 8 pm. Helen Drutt will be talking and it is very highly recommended that you attend.

As of right now, I have just 4 RSVP’s for the July 12 (noon) tour at Seattle Art Museum. Please get your RSVP’s in this week if you want to attend because I will have to cancel if I do not see more interest.

Tacoma Art Museum will be closed this Saturday, July 4. The Administrative offices will be closed on Friday, July 3 in observance of the holiday.

Finally, I have some shifts that still need filled for July:

Friday, July 10               11 am – 3 pm

Tuesday, July 14            1 pm – 5 pm

Thursday, July 16        5 – 8 pm ( This is Third Thursday and we advertise a 6 pm tour)

Saturday, July 18           11 am – 3 pm

Thursday, July 23           11 am – 3 pm

Friday, July 24               11 am – 3 pm

Tuesday, July 28            1 pm – 5 pm

Wednesday, July 29        11 am – 3 pm

Thursday, July 30           11 am – 3 pm

Please help with one of the shifts above, if you can. We are already seeing an increase in visitors!

Thank you,

TAM Docents: More Jewelry Information (and a picture!)

Hello Docents-

At the beginning of our training this week, we discussed how to handle the loaning of the Ornament as Art catalog. We came to the consensus that the catalog will be available in the ARC and at the docent desk but would not be available for actual check out. Please limit your use to the museum.

For all the number lovers, here are some stats on the Drutt exhibition:

 

Total number of works in the exhibition: 305

Total number of artists represented: 107

Total number of countries represented: 20

 

Attached you will find the Nancy Worden panels and, for those who haven’t already copied it, I have included the checklist again. Finally, there is a wonderful picture of Rock that I hope you will all enjoy.

Thank you for all that you do for Tacoma Art Museum!

-Jana

Fwd: Perkins Artist Loft rental

Hello Fellow Docents,

Shannon Eakins (our previous fearless leader) is moving to Univ of Las
Vegas NV ... she has a condo to rent.

You can reach her : Shannon Eakins < shannoneakins [at] hotmail.com>

Regards
Sanjeev

***********************

Beloved Tacomans,

As many of you already know, Marc and I hurriedly leaving for a three
year adventure in Las Vegas. We are looking to do something with our
current home, and the current condo market in Tacoma is really slow
right now. We have decided to rent it out for the time being, and are
looking for a good tenant. The space is a real beauty: big 826 sq ft
1br with a walk-in closet, 13 foot ceilings, stainless counters, roof
deck, secure entry, laundry room, soaking tub, building workout room
etc. Please pass along as you see fit!
We're asking $1000 a month with water/gas/sewer included. Pets are OK
if they are chill...

Thanks for being such a great community,
Shannon and Marc

TAM Docents: Helen Drutt Labels and Wall Text

Hello Docents-

Attached are the Labels and Intro Text for the Helen Drutt exhibition. I just had a sneak peek and it looks great! The challenge will be how we tour this exhibition and I am going to ask you to read through the attached materials, view the show and come up with some touring strategies to share on Monday, June 15 when we have the walk-through with Rock at 10:30 am. I think it might be helpful for us to share our ideas with Rock at the training to see if we are moving in the right direction because there are too many pieces to go through bit by bit. We will use most of our time brainstorming and coming up with workable approaches to such a large show.

I will see you all on June 15 but will be out until then on vacation. If you cannot make a shift or need to be in touch with a staff person, please contact Allison Baer at 253.272.4258 x3018 or ABaer@TacomaArtMuseum.org. I hope I will see many of you tomorrow night at the opening!

Best regards,

-Jana

Thank you,

TAM Docents: First Thursday Timetable for June 4

Hello Docents-

For those of you interested and/or already joining me for the First Thursday trip to Seattle next Thursday, June 4^th, here is a potential “agenda” and timetable:

Meet at Tacoma Art Museum Security entrance at 4:30 pm and walk together as a group to the bus stop across the street to catch the 594 Seattle Express at 4:50 pm. Get off in Seattle at 4^th and Jackson around 6 pm.

Walk up to the Tashiro Kaplan Building. The Tashiro Kaplan building is located between Third Avenue S., S. Washington St. and Prefontaine Place S. in Pioneer Square, downtown Seattle: 306 S Washington St. We will explore the galleries there. On the way back, there is an outdoor art market that is fun to stop in on this time of year and it is also in Pioneer Square.

We will pick from one of the many downtown restaurants for dinner. One possibility could be the Taste Restaurant at SAM. If there is any energy left at this point, SAM is free on First Thursday, or we can catch the bus back to Tacoma from 2^nd and University. We will be riding the 594 (or any of the 590 buses) back and they leave from Seattle every ½ hour so the bold may depart at any point to head back to Tacoma.

Bus fares are $3 for the Seattle Express ($1.50 if you are a senior – 65 or older) so have exact change ready or get a bus pass. You will need bus fare for both directions for a total of $6.

Let me know if you have questions, concerns, or if you want to RSVP.

 

Here is who is joining me so far:

Margaret Upshaw

Randi Kander

Linda Flatley

Gaard Logan

Kara Hefley

Barbara Beaver

 

Thank you!

-Jana
