TAM: Ellen Ito and Nicholas Nyland at the Helm gallery

This isn't strictly "docent-related" but…

Ellen Ito (who works in Visitor Services, among other jobs, at Tacoma Art Museum) and Nicholas Nyland (who used to work at Tacoma Art Museum and was featured in the 2007 Northwest Biennial) have a show at The Helm gallery in Tacoma, and the opening is tonight. I'm sure they would love to see you there!

This Thursday = 01/17 = Third Thursday = Docent Coffee + Artwalk

Hello Fellow Docents and Interesting People,

Did you resolve to see/make more art in 2008 ??!!

Well, first art walk is this Thursday.

TAM will open Renoir as Printmaker: The Complete Works, 1876 - 1912

http://www.tacomaartmuseum.org/

((6 pm
Although known primarily for his impressionist paintings, Renoir
became interested in printmaking during the last two decades of his
life and produced numerous etchings and lithographs, many based on his
paintings. Margaret Bullock, Tacoma Art Museum Curator of Collections
and Special Exhibitions, offers an informal introduction to the
exhibition in the galleries.))
