Monthly Outings

Our monthly outings are usually the First Saturday, Second Thursday (Gig Harbor) and Third Wednesday. Also listed are any "ad hoc" outings planned (outside of the usual schedule). 

Be mindful of the COVID risk. Rates are down now though it's still with us.  Colds and flu are rising.  

Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test.  It could be a cold, flu, or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable.  Our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it! Thanks for taking care of each other.

First Saturday, February 7: Sharing Session
 
765 South 84th Street, Tacoma, WA 98444
 
Once a year we do something different. This is not a sketch outing, per se.  We'll gather in the library meeting room to share art supplies. Bring any art supplies, books, etc you'd like to share with fellow sketchers.  Is there something you have that you don't like or just aren't using?  Perhaps someone else will like it more than you.  

Gather at 10 am near entrance to library, which opens at 10.  We'll find our room and get settled.  We have it to 1pm but will need to spend the last few minutes cleaning up.  
 
 
"This event is not sponsored by the Tacoma Public Library."
