tours, one of the features of Art at Work Month this November. Studios
will be open on Saturday, November 8 and Sunday, November 9 from 10 am
to 4 pm.
Deadline for submissions is July 1, 2008. Applicants will be juried by
a sub-committee of the Tacoma Arts Commission and selected based on the

as geographic diversity. To qualify, your studio must be located within
the City of Tacoma limits. A studio is defined as a location where
artwork is created on a consistent basis.
Artists can choose to be open on either Saturday or Sunday or may choose
to be open both days.
The Tacoma Arts Commission will publish a map and publicity materials
featuring the studios. The studio tours are free to both the artists and
the visitors.
