Tacoma Art Museum periodicals guide

Thanks to Loren, we now have a convenient way to search for articles in our magazines. Attached is a guide that has also been copied and put into the manual in the ARC (currently in the front).

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Good news: Wendy Shore completed the last of the Artist File entries for the on-line catalog!!! This was a big undertaking so, in addition to thanking Wendy, I also want to extend thanks to Don Romero and Alexandria English for their help on that project as well. I am planning a celebratory lunch some time in August and I will send out details as I am able to put that together.

 

Thank you all for the amazing things you do for Tacoma Art Museum!!

Tacoma Art Museum Volunteer Shifts in ARC for July

Hello ARC Volunteers!

Big thanks to those of you have been coming in even during these glorious summer days. They are rare and I appreciate your dedication!

Tacoma Art Museum will be open on July 4, for those of you who may be wondering.

Also, the Tacoma Art Museum has extended its hours during the St John’s Bible exhibition on Thursday evening until 8 pm. Linda Gaines has graciously agreed to fill many of those shifts already but I would appreciate anyone’s help who can take the few that are left (one is posted below).

 

For the month of July, I need to fill the following shifts:

Mondays, July 7 & 21                1:30 – 5 pm

Wednesday, July 30                   10 am – 1: 30 pm & 1:30 – 5 pm

Thursday, July 24                       5 pm – 8 pm

Friday, July 25                           1:30 – 5 pm

Saturdays, July 12 & 26              10 am – 1:30 pm

Saturdays, July 5, 12, 19 & 26    1:30 – 5 pm

Sundays, July 6, 13 & 27            12 – 5 pm

 

We anticipate some good crowds during the run of the St John’s Bible exhibition and the ARC will be pointed out to visitors regularly by Visitor Services staff and wall text will direct visitors there as well. We need to be open when the museum is open. If you will not be able to make a shift, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can try to find a replacement. This is our chance to really shine in the ARC and demonstrate how truly useful and valuable a space it is to the museum.

 

Thank you,

-Jana
