"I discovered Cecilia Beaux at the Tacoma Art Museum exhibit. She was practicing when it was hard for women to study art. She basically got buried in time."

"Hearing Daniel Blue read his poem about Tacoma at the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation lunch. It’s nice to see someone reinforce a hopeful view of Tacoma."
Paula Tutmarc-Johnson, curator, Two Vaults Gallery
"I read about a lady who found a painting in the trash by Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo. It’s now worth over a million dollars. This bolstered my love for rummaging at garage sales."
Tacoma Gnome, tourist:
"I arrived in Tacoma after a long journey from Norway. I’m very excited about the First Night New Year’s celebration. Gnomes don’t have a lot of time for fun. We have the harvest to think about."
