The Tacoma and Seattle Arts and Culture Meetup

Join us at the table for authentic Mexican food. El Matador serves a menu of scratch-made dishes that complement the nuances of great blancos, reposados, and añejos, with exciting preparations that rethink Mexican cuisine, always fresh ingredients, and creative plate presentations. The restaurant interiors reflect the craft, heart, soul, and sense of adventure that live inside every good bottle of tequila.

Please keep your reservation current and cancel your spot if you are unable to attend. We will need to make a reservation for this restaurant.

Let's go to the new exhibition. Inspired by the region’s natural beauty and rapidly changing city, this exhibition showcases artists who told the raw story of Seattle in the 20th century. By sharing the Pacific Northwest’s perspective through trending art styles—including Social Realism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism—these artists offered a unique take on Modernist art. They challenged the “mystic” label ascribed to their work.

Spearheading the movement were local icons Mark Tobey, Kenneth Callahan, Guy Anderson, and Morris Graves—but the range and breadth of Pacific Northwest art goes beyond the “Big Four” of the Northwest School. Featuring more than 150 pieces, this exhibition showcases works that investigate the complexities of daily life in the region. Whether applying an ecocritical lens or producing dreamy and uncanny visuals, these artists expressed the duality of the natural world and city life to warn of the environmental and social impacts of industrialization.

From Malcolm Roberts to Kenjiro Nomura, learn how Northwest artists applied their regional perspective to broader artistic developments to create a new form of American Modernism. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog authored by Theresa Papanikolas, SAM’s Ann M. Barwick Curator of American Art.
