Exhibition Dates: August 9 - October 14

Join us for the opening reception of, A Garden of Earthly Delights, a collection of 9 new artists books, partially funded by a Tacoma Artist Initiative Project (TAIP) grant from the Tacoma Arts Commission,  and nearly 20 sketchbooks and other works, all celebrating Puget Sound and the Pacific Northwest.  Enjoy an early evening of light hors d'oeuvres and light refreshments, and an opportunity to meet the artist and talk about his work. 

Partially funded by a Tacoma Artist Initiative Project  (TAIP) grant from the Tacoma Arts Commission,The Garden of Earthly Delights, celebrates the Pacific Northwest in an exhibition of nine new works and nearly 20 sketchbooks by Tacoma book artist and illustrator, Mark Hoppmann.  The exhibition challenges our perceptions of Puget Sound and the Pacific Northwest; from an alphabet created from the decaying wharves of Tacoma's seafaring past, to the menagerie of gargoyles found on the Washington coast, to typewriter art celebrating Puget Sound and beyond in alliterative haiku, and more.
