Tacoma – Ode to Diligence: The Art of Jason McDonald ♿
Glass artist Jason McDonald brings his exhibition to the Tacoma Art Museum on Friday, October 16, exploring Venetian furnace techniques and what it takes to break into creative spaces as a person of color. His work speaks to both the structural barriers and the genuine pleasure of mastering a demanding craft. The museum's downtown location also houses a substantial collection of Northwest regional art, including extensive Dale Chihuly glass pieces.
