Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

IN FISCAL YEAR 21, TACOMA ART MUSEUM REMAINED CLOSED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. DURING THE CLOSURE WE FOCUSED ON CREATING ONLINE TOURS AND VIRTUAL WALK-THROUGHS OF SEVERAL EXHIBITIONS TO KEEP VISITORS ENGAGED INCLUDING "FORGOTTEN STORIES: NORTHWEST PUBLIC ART OF THE 1930'S," "AUDUBON/RYAN," AND "NATIVE PORTRAITURE: POWER AND PERCEPTION." CONTINUING OUR INITIATIVE TO MAKE THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC BEYOND THE GALLERIES, ANOTHER 1,000 OBJECTS WERE ADDED TO THE MUSEUM'S ONLINE COLLECTION DATABASE, EMUSEUM, INCLUDING BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION ON THE ARTISTS AND ONLINE PORTFOLIOS WERE CREATED FOR EXHIBITIONS ON VIEW AS WELL AS FOR CURRICULUM USES.


MUSEUM SERVICES INCLUDES THE TAM STORE, TAM CAFE, AND VISITOR SERVICES. THE STORE FEATURES LOCAL ARTIST DESIGNED JEWELRY, CERAMICS, AND BOOKS BY LOCAL AUTHORS AND THAT REFLECT CURRENT EXHIBITIONS. TAM CAFE OFFERS FRESHLY MADE ENTREES AND FEATURES LOCALLY CRAFTED BEER AND WINE. TAM RENTS MUSEUM FACILITIES INCLUDING LOCAL BUSINESS GROUP MEETINGS, COMMUNITY SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS, EXHIBITION OPENINGS, AND PRIVATE EVENTS. IN FY21, THE MUSEUM WAS LARGELY CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. IN FISCAL YEAR 21, TAM HOSTED NO RENTAL EVENTS AND LARGELY MOVED TO AN ONLINE MUSEUM STORE FOCUS.


TAM'S EDUCATION PROGRAM EMPOWERS VISITORS TO FIND AND CREATE MEANING WITH ART IN ORDER TO BUILD AN EMPATHETIC AND COLLABORATIVE COMMUNITY THROUGH PROGRAMS AND TOURS, IN-GALLERY ACTIVITIES AND AUDIO TOURS, ART WORKSHOPS, AND CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES. DUE TO THE CANCELLATION OF IN PERSON EVENTS BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, TAM'S EDUCATION PROGRAMMING FOCUSED ON ONLINE PROGRAMMING. IN FY21, 245 PREK-5TH GRADE STUDENTS ATTENDED VIRTUAL MUSEUM FIELD TRIPS THIS YEAR. TAM'S POPULAR "HOMESCHOOL DAY" WENT ONLINE AS A 40 MINUTE VIRTUAL TOUR WITH ART-MAKING KITS, ACTIVITY BOOKLETS, AND MATERIALS PROVIDED TO PARTICIPANTS. FINALLY, "TAM AT HOME" ACTED AS THE MUSEUM'S PRIMARY PLATFORM FOR VIRTUAL PROGRAMMING, INCLUDING HANDS ON ART-MAKING PROJECTS, VIRTUAL COLLECTION VISITS, AND VIRTUAL GALLERY TOURS.
