March outings

First Saturday, March 7:  Tacoma Art Museum (TAM)

1701 Pacific Ave, Tacoma, WA 98402

Unless you want to do so, you don't have to pay to go through the Museum.  There is art to sketch without actually paying admission.  Those who are members and have extra tickets may bring them to assist others with entry. 

 
And as many of us know TAM is a great place to lunch after.

Parking info is here   http://www.tacomaartmuseum.org/visit/plan-visit/
There is free parking at Freighthouse Square garage then take the light rail which stops within walking distance of Tacoma Art Museum at Union Station.

Third Wednesday, March 18: Bass Pro Shops 

7905 Hosmer Street, Tacoma, WA 98408

Meet at 10 am in the lobby just inside.  We'll sketch until 12:30 and then meet to share our sketchbooks.

This very large store is located just a few minutes south of the Tacoma Dome off I-5.  There is plenty of free parking. There is a restaurant inside the store so those who want can have lunch together after the outing.

Even if you don't want to sketch the animal mounts, there are lots of other things to sketch.  The ball returns in the bowling alley (called "The Fish Bowl") are amazing.  There are sporting scenes with models that don't move (mannequins).  There is a very large aquarium.

Lunch for those who want to stay in the restaurant.  Please support our sketcher-friendly venues by buying their food or beverages while sketching on their premises.  So be generous, be considerate of the establishment and their customers and show the world how sketching can help everyone to be happy!
