Riding a wave of positive vibes, the Third Thursday ArtWalk ART BUS is back this month with more art venue stops. The April bus is partnering with the local poetry community to celebrate National Poetry Month. Its celebrity guest tour guides are poet laureates - Bus #1 tour guide is former Tacoma Poet Laureate Tammy Robacker and Bus #2 tour guide is former Tacoma Poet Laureate Antonio Edwards Jr. - and the VIP riders ($20, instead of $10) will receive a free, limited edition poetry booklet with poems from local poets about galleries, culture, writing and the muse. Each one is handcrafted, signed and numbered by local artist and writer, Maria Chong Gudaitis.

Two buses will hit the street visiting 253 Collective, Wright Park Observatory, B2 Fine Art Gallery, A Touch of Magick, Anew Thyme, Brick House Gallery, Embellish Multispace Salon, City Grocer, Grassi's Garden Café, Merlino Arts Center, Nine Lives Vintage Wears, Throwing Mud Gallery, The Social and The Swiss.

Remember, art is in the eye of the bus rider.
