Hotel Murano to Receive Arts Award

Exciting news! We’ve been selected to receive the Tacoma Arts Commission’s 2008 AMOCAT Arts Awards. These awards recognize community members who make a special contribution to the local arts scene. The “Arts Patron” award went to us for our investment in glass art (about 45 artists are represented at our hotel) and for us making our special hotel a museum of sorts. The awards ceremony will take place at the Art at Work Opening Celebration on Oct. 29 at the Tacoma Art Museum. The evening will also feature live music, poetry readings and munchies. Now, if someone could please tell me what “AMOCAT” stands for! (I get that it’s “Tacoma” spelled backwards, but isn’t it an acronym, too?)
