Tacoma Art Museum (TAM) has a collection of more than 4,700 works with an emphasis on the art and artists of the Northwest and broader Western region. The collection includes the largest retrospective museum collection of glass art by Tacoma native Dale Chihuly on permanent view; the most significant collection of studio art jewelry by Northwest artists; key holdings in 19th century European and 20th century American art; and one of the finest collections of Japanese woodblock prints on the West Coast.
TAM engaged Bow Bridge to promote the announcement of a major gift of the Jack and Becky Benaroya private collection of 225 works. The gift included a contribution for a new gallery space to house the collection and an endowment for its conservation.
