Take a break at the community’s museum this week.

Join us this Sunday, April 19, from 12 to 5 pm for The Big Draw with David Macaulay, A Free Community Festival.

Change the way you think about drawing by participating in collaborative and individual drawing projects throughout the building. Live performances by Fab-5, Metro Dance, and the Stadium High School Drum Line, as well as chalk-art on the plaza with the C.L.A.W. and Frost Park Chalkers, will be among the many multi-generational events and activities happening during the day.

At 1:30 pm on Sunday, author and illustrator David Macaulay will present “Winding Roads and Dead Ends: David Macaulay Discusses His Ideas and Process,” at University of Washington-Tacoma’s Philip Hall. Tickets for the lecture are $10; $5 for students with ID, college faculty, and museum members; Free for youth 18 and under. Email education@TacomaArtMuseum.org or call 253.722.2455 to reserve your seat. Tickets will also be available at the door.

At 3 pm, Macaulay will return to the museum for a book signing. Lecture attendees who present their ticket stubs will be able to join an express line to get their favorite books signed.
