For one night every week, the Tacoma Art Museum (TAM) stays open late for Neighborhood Night to let the community experience the Museum for free. Sometimes they stack this event with other activities like an open art studio for teens or live performances and workshops, but they always bring in some community element.
Check their calendar to see what fun experiences they have lined up for the week.
