What We're All About
Tacoma Art Place (TAP) is a non-profit art center (with 501c3 charitable status) in the heart of the revitalized MLK neighborhood. Our mission is to provide access to equipment and training that will allow more people to affordably explore their creativity and artistic ability. We have a special emphasis to reach underserved individuals with free or reduced-cost memberships and to offer arts education in the community. Buy an annual membership today or give a friend the gift of a membership or day pass. Individuals and businesses can support our mission by donating equipment or funds.
