telephone room

{painting: Jeremy Mangan-- Zow!}

...................................................................

The Telephone Room is the world's second-smallest (hello Tollbooth!) art gallery at 12 ½ square feet. It is located in a Dutch Colonial home (Heide's home at 3710 N 7th Street, Tacoma - between Union and Proctor) in Tacoma and since 1930, its sole purpose has been to house a black rotary dial telephone. Until now...

Small is Big. The Telephone Room is small, but its mission is big: to house artist-driven exhibits and programming. Big ideas in an intimate space.

We hope that you will find some time this coming Wednesday, February 18th to visit the Telephone Room, chat with the artists, talk about art or reality tv, sip a little wine, play a little air hockey, and hang out with us. Our opening is from 5 pm onwards.

We will be trying to have an open house every third Wednesday of the month, but we will also be viewable by appointment. Email me or call me (253-761-1094) to visit!

Here's a list of the participating artists for the inaugural exhibition:
