Stacy and Clinton Bring Style to Tacoma?
The word on the street is that Stacy and Clinton of What Not To Wear used the Museum of Glass Hotshop today as the scene of a fashion intervention. I can think of a few Tacomans that could use a bit of fashion help. Actually, I can only think of few Tacomans that don’t require fashion help.

I see inconsistency with these actions by TAM in light of the recent donation of western art by the Haub family. Though China is a little more removed then, say New Mexico, or Wyoming, none of the Haub collection’s paintings feature “northwest” artists or “northwest” locales either. Should the museum auction that collection as well?
It looks like TAM needs to get its act together and decide who it really wishes to serve and what art it really wishes to display.

This is the very definition of making a mountain out of a molehill.

“TAM Kerfuffle Raises Questions Over What Defines NW Art”—post title.
In the big picture, what defines Tacoma Art Museum? The answer you get depends on how the question is asked.
Is Tacoma Art Museum a mini-storage for unwanted art experiments?

Look, if this whole kerfuffle is about storage space, then there’s an easy solution. Send a couple of sheetrock hangers down to the waterfront ting and have them wall-in a closet.

@6: Case in point regarding cultural sensitivity.
M Mofo from the Hood March 11, 2013
Regarding cultural sensitivity, people’s feelings are going to get hurt whenever an opponent puts forth their stand on an issue.
Here’s TAM’s claim that they are a model of expediency:
“Our vision is to be a national model for regional museums by creating a dynamic museum…”
Why should anyone think that TAM is some kind of authority for preserving and protecting eternal and unchanging truth?
