Geocache Description:



GeoCrush is a series of art caches at Puget Sound cultural institutions. These aren't ordinary cache containers. They're displays where you can interact with the caches in an artistic way.

NOTE: Due to popular request, we've decided to extend this cache for another week!

This art cache is available from October 6 to October 10. It is located in the Workz Cafe at the Tacoma Art Museum, at 1701 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma. Cache hours are Wednesday to Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm.

About this Cache:
To celebrate the exhibition Edo to Tacoma: Japanese Woodblock Prints from the Collection, Tacoma Art Museum asks you to help create 1,000 origami paper cranes that will hang in the museum throughout the exhibition. Personalize your crane and write your name under one of its wings. If you like, take a photo of you and your crane and post it in the log.

If you're lucky, you could win tickets to the Sax in the City concert at Tacoma Art Museum, or to FootFalls at the Barefoot collective. Just fill out an entry slip and drop it into the cache!

About the Tacoma Art Museum:
Tacoma Art Museum was founded by a group of volunteers in 1935 and has since grown to become a national model for regional, mid-sized museums. The museum is dedicated to exhibiting and collecting Northwest art, with the mission of connecting people through art. The museum's permanent collection includes the premier collection of Dale Chihuly's glass artwork on permanent public display. Tacoma Art Museum serves the diverse communities of the Northwest through its collection, exhibitions, and learning programs, emphasizing art and artists from the Northwest.

About GeoCrush:
GeoCrush is an event that takes place all over ArtsCrush 2010. There are 20 art caches at cultural institutions around the Sound. When you find a cache, sign the logbook and fill out an entry form. When the cache is archived at the end of its run, we will draw winners at random from all the entries. You can win event tickets, art memorabilia, and other prizes from our host institutions. Check the cache listings to see the complete list of prizes. This event was created by Groundspeak, Theatre Puget Sound, and Lone Shark Games.
