So there you are in your studio, stuck in a hopeless mire of artistic schizophrenia. Traditional painting is more respectable. Computer-generated art is edgier. Ceramics break, but have a certain charm. Woodcarving? Watercolor? Your studio is empty; your head is scattered.

You need ideas.

You need to hit Thursday's Tacoma Art Mingle. The monthly third Thursday art walk now has a passport game. Simply grab a passport at one of the participating venues, have each venue stamp your passport, then turn it in each quarter to win raffle prizes. Catch Pam Ingalls show at the Brick House Gallery and have owner Peter stamp you. Drop in on Katie Hagens show at 253 Collective Gallery and have her stamp you. Pop into the Throwing Mud Gallery in Old Town for a looksy at contemporary handcrafts, have owner Eileen Hudak stamp you. Check out Jill Neal's paintings and sip some wine at B2 Fine Art Gallery, and have owner Gary stamp you.

Get inspired.
