Virtual Talk | Hear from the Curator: Departures and Divisions @ Tacoma Art Museum
Feb 6 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

Join us for a discussion about Tacoma Art Museum’s newest exhibition, Departures and Divisions: Variation in American Styles, 1900 – 1950. Learn more about the exhibition as we consider the development of a distinctly American style of art. Throughout the 19th century, Europe and the Academies of Paris dominated the global artistic scene. In Europe, the Modernist movement began to reject traditional academic art and branched out into their own styles. When European Modernism reached the United States, American artists began to incorporate, reinvent, depart, and rebel against European art, developing their own unique styles and movements. We will discuss this new wave of American Modernism, Northwest contributions to these movements, and how these artists and ideas helped bring the United States to the center of the artistic world.

Tacoma Arts Live presents: Richard Thompson @ The Pantages Theater
Feb 11 @ 7:30 pm

When Ivor Novello Award-winning and GRAMMY® Award-nominated legend Richard Thompson picks up a guitar, emotions echo through his deft fleet-fingered fretwork, poetic songwriting, and impassioned picking. Those transmissions culminate in his nineteenth solo album, 13 Rivers.

Powered by evocative songcraft, jaw-dropping guitar playing, and indefinable spirit, this venerable icon holds a coveted spot on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and counts a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association in Nashville and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the BBC Awards among his many accolades. Thompson garnered an OBE (Order of the British Empire) personally bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in 2011. Moreover, TIME touted his anthem, “1952 Vincent Black Lightning,” on its “100 Greatest Songs Since 1923” list.
