TAM considers Puget Sound "one of the model members of the MUSE program, which continues to strengthen the educational and community-building cornerstones on which the program was built."
The university is pleased to continue Puget Sound's long-standing relationship with Tacoma Art Museum, started when Jones Hall was TAM's original home from 1935 through 1958, and we continue to work together in important ways to think creatively about future collaborations.
