The Pacific Northwest has more working artists per capita than any other region in our nation.
From art galleries to theaters, museums to performing arts – Tacoma’s art and cultural community is as beautiful as the lush Puget Sound region that it flourishes in.
Artists are continuing to locate in Tacoma because of our city’s affordability, inspirational renaissance, comfortable community and our revered and supportive arts community.
We’ve got a little something for everyone. Catch a local performance, meander through a museum, or take a walk downtown to find public art at every turn.
