Teen Night at Tacoma Art Museum

Teen Night at TAM is free and open to all high school students with ID. Parking in the TAM lot is also free (Note: Free spaces are marked with “TAM”).

Activities at Teen Night will bring to life The Outwin 2016: American Portraiture Today. This exhibition comes from the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery and includes 43 of the nation’s most notable contemporary works in portraiture. It is drawn from a triennial competition, and the works on view won selection from among 2,500 entries! The portraits reflect a wide range of current concerns and many of the portraits are of youth, so teens will certainly find something to connect with in this exhibition.

In addition to seeing this diverse and relevant exhibition, what else can teens do at the event? Show off dance moves with live music, collaborate with friends to make larger-than-life art, snap selfies, and more! And where there are teens, there is food to fuel all the creative fun. Doors open at 7 pm for this lively event.
