Amy McBride—Tacoma’s Art Scene

Did you read the blog post in The Stranger by Charles Mudede? He writes:

Something has clearly shifted in the way Tacoma and Seattle are perceived at the level of the arts. My point: As the arts are in decline in Seattle, they are clearly ascending in Tacoma. And if this trend continues, it’s not impossible to imagine a situation where the latter effectively becomes the center of the region’s arts.

Inspired by that, I invited Amy McBride, Arts Administrator for the City of Tacoma, to join the podcast for a very special episode about Tacoma’s arts—past, present, and future. Amy talks about what the city arts scene was like in 1998 when she moved here and how it’s changed and grown. We talk about the Stranger article and much more.

Enjoy!
