Citizens with the skills and passion to provide leadership in supporting and enhancing the arts in Tacoma can apply for open positions on the Tacoma Arts Commission.
If you are knowledgeable and passionate about the arts (literary, visual and performing) and desire to positively impact the arts in our community, we invite you to apply.
