Tacoma Art Place
What We're All About
Tacoma Art Place (TAP) is a non-profit art center in the heart of the revitalized MLK neighborhood in the old Friday's Cookies facility. Our mission is to provide access to equipment and training that will allow more people to affordably explore their creativity and artistic ability. We also have a special emphasis to reach underserved individuals with free or reduced-cost memberships. Buy an annual membership today or give a friend the gift of a membership or day pass. Individuals and businesses can support our mission by donating equipment or funds.
Currently Tacoma Art Place is adopted under the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation (with charitable tax status) as we develop.
