TAM: Gig Harbor salmon art sculptures

One of our docents, Nancy Harris, has designed a salmon for the Salmonchanted Harbor in Gig Harbor. There are 15 unique salmon art sculptures in the downtown Gig Harbor area on display until October 2007.

 

Nancy's salmon "Salmon & The River Are One" can be found at the Harbor Center, 7716 Pioneer Way.

TAM: new docent graduation projects

All seven of our new docents completed and presented a small research project at the end of June.

Some of them also handed in a written version, and these are available at the docent desk. For now, I have simply put them in the folder at the very front of the Current Exhibitions binder. There is also a very thorough binder of information on Environmental Art by Judi Keyser that is on the docent bookshelf.

Extra take-home copies are on the docent desk.

 

Thanks for your time!

TAM: lunch with the Frye docents

On Friday, July 27, a group of docents from the Frye Art Museum will be visiting Tacoma Art Museum. They will be having lunch in our café at 11:30 am and would love to meet some of our Tacoma Art Museum docents for a chat over lunch!

 

Approximately ten Frye docents will be visiting us, and they will also be speaking to Susan about our school tour program and having a docent-led tour of Tacoma Art Museum, of course.

 

If you would like to join Susan and me in meeting the Frye docents, please let me know and I will reserve a seat in the café for you.
