Private Events in the Plazas
At the water’s edge.
The Main Level Sculpture Plaza is a 3,900 square foot outdoor venue adjacent to the Museum’s entrance and the largest reflecting pool. With spectacular views of artwork and the waterway, and close proximity to the Museum’s program areas (Galleries, Studio, Theater and Hot Shop Amphitheater) the Main Level Sculpture Plaza is an ideal location for large private events with a contemporary art program.
Intimate Outdoors.
The 4,200 square foot Mezzanine Level Sculpture Plaza overlooks the Thea Foss Waterway and esplanade. The Plaza is bordered by one of the Museum’s three reflecting pools. The Mezzanine Level Sculpture Plaza is an excellent location for events whose participants are circulating through the Galleries, Hot Shop and/or other areas as part of the contemporary art program.
Above it All.
The Museum’s Rooftop Level Sculpture Plaza offers an extraordinary panorama, encompassing Tacoma’s restored historic district, the upper portion of the Museum’s cone, Mount Rainer and the Olympic Mountain Range. The Rooftop Level Sculpture Plaza, at 5,400 square feet, is the largest of the Museum’s three outdoor sites and provides the perfect staging area for events with a contemporary art program. Program participants can easily circulate from the Rooftop Plaza to the interior of the Museum to enjoy the Galleries, Hot Shop, Theater and Education Studio.
Events held outdoors at the Museum are required to abide by the City of Tacoma’s noise ordinance laws, which require music and loud noise to cease by 11:00pm.
