Do I need any painting experience?

None. Your artist walks the whole room through the painting stroke by stroke over about two hours, and everyone leaves with a finished canvas. Most guests have never painted before.

Where do I park near The Forum?

There's free parking at or near The Forum.

Can I order food and drinks during the event?

Yes — the bar and cocktail list stays open while you paint. Food and drinks are ordered from and paid to the venue, and aren't part of your seat price.

How early should I arrive?

Doors open 30 minutes before the painting starts. Come early, grab your seat and order a drink — the artist starts on time.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

Yes — The Forum has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and restrooms. If you have specific seating needs, contact the venue ahead of the event and they'll set you up.

About The Forum

THE FORUM IS A 21 & OVER ESTABLISHMENT with Happy Hour all day Sundays
"Always surround yourself with people you can learn from." - Leopold Schmidt, Founder of the Olympus Hotel

The Tacoma Forum has moved into the Olympus Hotel, which was founded by Olympia Brewing Company owner, Leopold Schmidt in 1909. The original back bar, which was built in France by Franciscan Monks, remains the shining star of The Forum. Rumor has it that Leopold himself, who was always proud of the once "grandest hotel in Tacoma," continues to watch over the patrons of our establishment. Our philosophy at The Forum is to surround ourselves with the best staff, support our local liquor companies and serve the finest food while creating a meeting place that everyone can enjoy...even Leopold!
