The ARLIS/NA Northwest Chapter invites you ...
to its Winter Meeting, Feb. 13-15, 2004, in Tacoma, Washington.
THE ART OF NORTHWEST LIVING, our meeting's theme, is appropriate for a
city that has emerged as a cultural arts hub amidst the natural beauty
of the region.
With Mt. Rainier as its backdrop, Tacoma is the home of several
important museums designed by famous contemporary architects as well
as the site of many distinctive renovation and restoration projects.
Among featured speakers is Dr. Julie Nicoletta (Univ. of Washington,
Tacoma), author of "The Architecture of the Shakers" (Norton,1995) and
"Buildings of Nevada" (Oxford, 2000).
Sharon Winters, Resource Center Coordinator, Tacoma Art Museum will
host our meeting at the new museum, designed by Antoine Predock.
