IS IT REALLY ALMOST NOVEMBER? I can't quite believe it, but the busy autumn season is upon us again. This is the most important time of year for Tacoma artists, as November is Art at Work Month throughout the city. So that means a plethora of events, and a whole slew of new work to share. So please join us! STUDIO TOUR This weekend marks the twelfth annual Studio Tour—one of Tacoma's biggest art events. Jessica and I are both participating again, and we're excited to welcome you back to our studios! Stop by to make your own takeaway keepsake, shop for handmade gifts and goodies, and be the first to see a veritable boatload of brand new artwork. 12th Annual Studio Tours ========== Saturday & Sunday, November 2 & 3 ---------- 11 am to 5 pm ---------- More info and maps **[here](http://www.tacomaculture.org/arts/resource/artatworktacoma/web/studiotours.htm)** ---------- Springtide Press (Jessica) 818 North Yakima Avenue, Tacoma, WA (Stop #20 on the tour) Anagram Press (Chandler) 634 North Oakes Street, Tacoma, WA (Stop #22 on the tour) THE ART OF BUSINESS, THE BUSINESS OF ART As part of Art at Work month, Tacoma's Arts Leadership Lab will be hosting a day-long conference for creative entrepreneurs.
