TAM: Docent Needed on Mondays

During the summer, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Tacoma Art Museum will be open on Mondays from 10 am to 5 pm.

If anyone would like to pick up a docent shift on summer Mondays, let me know. A mid-day shift from 11-3 would be best and I will only be trying to schedule one docent during the whole day.

 

Please reply only if you are interested, and I will confirm.

 

Thanks for your time!

TAM: Craft in America on PBS

Bonnie Gallagher from Union Station called me today to let me know about a PBS show "Craft in America" that is on tonight, Wednesday, May 30, and might be of interest to all us because it includes Dale Chihuly. It airs tonight with three sections at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm. The 10 pm section will feature Dale Chihuly and Pilchuck Glass School.

 

"Craft in America is a three-part series exploring the vitality, history and significance of the craft movement in the United States and its impact on our nation's rich cultural heritage."

In addition to the TV portion, there is also a book, DVD and traveling exhibition that will be at Portland Art Museum this summer.

I looked at the websites very briefly, and it looks very interesting!
