Exhibitions
Drawing from Tacoma Art Museum’s Haub Family Collection, this exhibition will look at the dynamic forces of both people and land that shaped the American West. From the rowdy cowboys and unruly outlaws to the arid deserts and jagged peaks, the American West is rife with legends of its wild side. The artists in this exhibition showcase active scenes of people living extraordinary lives alongside images of rugged and romanticized terrain of the vibrant West.
