We rolled up to Asia Pacific Cultural Center earlier this year with this truck absolutely stuffed to the brim with trees and the community showed up and took home almost ALL of these trees, we love to see it!
The Tacoma Arts Commission is proud to help support the important work in arts and culture that organizations and groups are doing across our community!
“We're proud of the breadth of artistic genres represented and excited to see the impact the selected projects will have for ensuring access to high-quality arts and cultural activities across a range of communities and Tacoma neighborhoods.” - Tacoma Arts Commission Chair Michael Kula
