We don't yet know what photographs will be in the show Mighty Tacoma: Photographic Portrait 2010, but the title tells us they will reference Tacoma and will be mighty.

Billed as an "interactive celebration and creative exercise in commemoration of Tacoma Art Museum's 75th Anniversary," the show will feature digital portraits by Tacoma-based artists that will be projected in the gallery and posted on the museum website. The show will also include a photographic survey of the city's neighborhoods, families at the museum, community groups and businesses. And visitors can add their own pictures to the website using Flickr, Facebook and other Internet networks.

Keeping to the Mighty theme, I'd suggest a hitting the show's opening during the Third Thursday Artwalk (free admission) in order to grab an early dinner at the Mighty Pacific Grill, which, if I remember correctly, won 149 awards for its food in our Best of Tacoma 2010 issue. I'm excited to see Chef Naccarato's fall menu; I'm hoping for more oysters and squash, but I'll accept quality time with their Asian street food menu.

After the show, I suggest heading to the Mighty Hotel Murano, grab a martini at the stylish lobby bar and kick back in front of the retro fireplace. This is the swankiest place in town.
