*We want to hear stories from YOU, inspired by Steve LaBerge's Touching Down in Tacoma (in the Pantages lobby) * *The Tacoma Light Trai*l has returned! Individual artists and groups will light up the night with dazzling installations and creations of light and sound all around town, handily mapped for you to take a self-guided tour. Creative Colloquy loves our local artists, and we adore collaboration and inspiration, especially when it gets us out in the city. So, we have a sparkly new themed call for our community, and for anyone out there loving the lights… Creative Colloquy is now accepting submissions with the theme: Touching Down in Tacoma. *NOTE: The artist does not have a specific story or message in mind, you have full creative freedom! If you've been out enjoying the Light Trail, make sure to visit our new friend who has touched down for the season at the Pantages Theatre. We don't know much about them yet, but we hear they are quite the character, and we can't wait to hear the stories they inspire you to tell! We want short stories, poems, and essays that are inspired by the light installation from artist *Steve LaBerge *which is located at the Pantages Theatre on 9th & Broadway. The Tacoma Light Trail runs Dec 31 to Jan 16. More info at *tacomalighttrail.org <http://tacomalighttrail.org/>*. Selected submissions will be published online in a special series. Ultimately the idea is to inspire new work by South Sound scribes while also highlighting local artists and the amazing arts community that works to bring us beauty, brightness, and whimsy in the darkest days of the year. This call for submissions will remain open until January 30, 2022. You can enjoy Steve's installation until January 18!
