Telling Stories will include about forty pieces, many of them visitor favorites from the museum’s collection.
Eight are recent acquisitions that have never been on view as part of the permanent collection before. Each piece explores how artists capture the spirit and essence of narrative tales. Sections of the exhibition will be divided into character, represented by portraiture; setting, through landscape and still life; and plot development and resolution, through figurative works. Visitors are invited to share their musings with the entire community by writing the wall-label text. Simply answer “what part of the story does this image represent?” Every few months new labels will be created from visitor submissions.
This exhibition is organized by Tacoma Art Museum. Telling Stories is generously supported by Robert Half International and the members of Tacoma Art Museum’s Patron circle. Additional support is provided by the Nilan family in honor of Winona Nilan, a woman wise with words and stories, and a strong supporter of the arts.
