Artscapes

Artists activate Tacoma

Spaceworks’ Artscapes program provides support and opportunities to artists in Tacoma and Pierce County. We contract with artists of all abilities to create public art that brings cultural vibrancy and economic strength to our city. Through murals, window installations, exhibits, public engagement projects, and public art training, these opportunities have helped artists develop their artistic voice and further their careers. Since its inception in 2010, Spaceworks has orchestrated hundreds of Artscapes throughout Tacoma. 

Where to View Artscapes

You can find Spaceworks all across Tacoma and Pierce County. We turn the city into a canvas – activating downtown windows like our Woolworth Windows, hosting our annual Mural Fest, and supporting rapid and permanent public art. In partnership with local artists and organizations, our creative placemaking builds a safer, more welcoming community for everyone.
