Planning Ahead

If you're like me, you like to know what you're doing on any given Thursday. The third Thursday is always a given - Third Thursday Art Walk in Tacoma. Grab some friends and explore the art scene of Tacoma; just from the map on the website there are 11 places to go explore in the downtown area. Don't forget to visit the local independent shops and restaurants while you're there.

There is another way to explore the goodness of Tacoma on a Third Thursday ArtWalk, and that's the Art Bus. Tickets are $10 and include a button designed by a local artist, transportation on a Big Yellow School Bus to several galleries, and a good time while doing it all. The Art Bus starts the journey at the Tacoma Art Museum. Check out the Facebook post on the day of for a listing of galleries.

Now if that's not enough to get you out and about tomorrow night, there is the BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) carving at Embellish! Bring your pumpkin, yourself, the kids, and the neighbors! Come for the carving - stay to check out Scott McGee's artwork hanging in the salon.

A good time for all!
