Description
For the fifth consecutive year, Tacoma Art Museum partners with the Behnke Foundation to host an exhibition of work by the Neddy Artist Fellowship nominees and winners. The Neddy Artist Fellowship was established in 1995 as a memorial to Robert E. (Ned) Behnke (1948-"1989) by the Behnke Family and the Behnke Foundation, honoring Ned's contributions to the Northwest artistic community. The Fellowship is awarded to a Northwest artist who demonstrates artistic excellence, innovation, unique vision, and a passionate commitment to his or her art and community.

More about Tacoma Art Museum
Tacoma Art Museum
Tacoma Art Museum has a rep for being way too hip for being so far south - but then, that's Tacoma in general these days. .TAM is a thought-provoking, inspiring venue for modern masters and Northwest works, performances and installation pieces. The museum reports it has the largest public collection of Dale Chihuly glass works anywhere. It's also known for innovative exhibits exploring a range of popular-culture and historical subjects: socially conscious art; work inspired by the worlds of artificial intelligence, sci-fi, fantasy and high tech; and pieces exploring culture and diversity. Art classes and workshops for kids and adults, arts festivals, juried competitions and basic art history or exhibit-related lectures are mainstays.By Paysha StocktonSpecial to NWsource City/neighborhood: Tacoma Price: $6.50 - $7.50, , free during Third Thursday Art Walk Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, noon-5 p.m. Sunday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. third Thursday of every month Payment forms accepted:Visa MasterCard Personal checks Parking: Street parking Disabled access: No obstacles to access
