December 1: PCAF event for World Aids Day (Ad Hoc)
Star Center, 3873 S 66th St, Tacoma WA 98409
Pierce County Aids Foundation (PCAF) is having a special 30th anniversary celebration event (and World AIDS Day observance) on Friday Dec. 1 from 6- 9 pm at the Star Center in Tacoma.
We sketched at their event last year and they would like us to attend again. The lobby will be filled with many historical art projects and archives for people to peruse before and after a formal program around 7 pm. There should be ample and varied scenes to sketch.
Most interaction will be during the reception / mingling from 6-7, and the formal program from 7-8 might be a good time as well. After that, is just more mingling, and people should feel free to leave when they need to.
Important: Please register for the event:
Be sure to register at this link: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/pcaf/event/785835/ While we will be there doing a service, PCAF will provide us food and beverages if you wish. Registering will help them with the count for the caterers.

First Saturday Monthly Outing: December 2
Le-Petit Olive Branch Tea Room
East end of Freighthouse Square.
600 East 25th Street, Tacoma, WA 98421
Enter here:
We’ll meet at 10:00 AM by the wooden Big Foot carving outside Le-Petit Tea Room (near the Rainier Room on the East end of Freighthouse main floor.
Edit 11/27: To clarify, there are two Olive Branch Tea Rooms (on opposite ends of the Freighthouse building). We will sketch at the "Le-Petit Olive Branch" that's set up as a children's tea party room on the art gallery end of the building (the end closest to the parking garage).
For lunch, we can either walk to the other end of Freighthouse to the adult version "Olive Branch Café" (that entails going outside because of the Sounder/Amtrak section blocks the interior passage), or people can chose from any of the food court options available on the art gallery end of the building.
Free parking across East 25th Street (now a one-way street) at the Tacoma Dome Station garage.
At 12:30 PM we’ll regroup for sketch sharing and photos, followed by lunch at the Olive Branch Café & Tea Room (opposite end of Freighthouse) or any of the food-court establishments in the middle of Freighthouse Square.

Ad Hoc, Saturday, December 2: Gage Drawing Jam
Gage Academy of Art
1501 10th Ave E, Seattle, WA 98102
Meet at 9am. Find us in line or in the auditorium. Get there by at least 8am for best parking options.
Cost: $15/person, available at the door (kids 15 and under get in FREE). Or get your ticket online at the link above. Entrance free includes all sorts of drawing opportunities with models and still life. Also a wide variety of drawing materials are provided at no cost from several well known suppliers.
Feel free to sketch what you want, but what we share to Urban Sketchers on-line would be sketches of the larger scenes, capturing the environment of the event. Remember, posed models and still life do not fit Urban Sketchers guidelines. But we've enjoyed the Drawing Jam for the past couple years!
