<div>This June, internationally acclaimed Tacoma artist <a href="https://seattleartmuseum.org/exhibitions/ali" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Anida Yoeu Ali</strong></a><strong> </strong> will lead 2017-19 poet laureate/visual artist <a href="https://www.brownbetty.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Kellie Colemon</strong></a> <strong> </strong>(formerly Richardson), musician and Tacoma Arts Commissioner<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.soundliberator.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Joe Williams</strong></a>, creative entrepreneur and gallerist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebroadwaygallery765/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Dion Thomas</strong></a>, Tacoma City Councilperson and filmmaker<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.cityoftacoma.org/government/city_council/council_member_jamika_scott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Jamika Scott</strong></a>, and writer/editor <a href="https://www.representeditorial.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Jesi Vega</strong></a> to the <a href="https://artjog.id/2024/?lang=en&amp;id=&amp;urut=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>ARTJOG</strong></a><strong> </strong> art fair in Yogyakarta (Jogja), Indonesia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These cultural ambassadors will spend two weeks meeting with Jogja city officials, creative business owners, curators, artists and art collectives, making this trip an immersive case study of a modern city which values the creative capital provided by its artists and has utilized that capital to forge a thriving creative economy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like each one of the artists handpicked for this journey, the folks at <a href="https://artjog.id/2024/?lang=en&amp;id=&amp;urut=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>ARTJOG</strong></a> are committed to eroding barriers that limit the practice and enjoyment of art while growing and maintaining a strong network of artists, policymakers, and the public.<strong> </strong>

<div>The <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1b2wwK0bUDXWKSaN7fOM1d5HBAKJ7Yo9QC1C1lW7R_8w/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>ArtCity</strong></a><strong> </strong>delegates are dreaming big because they believe strongly in our vision of Tacoma as a cultural destination for the rest of the world. As they travel internationally they will proudly carry Tacoma everywhere they go and will return with inspiring ideas to catapult Tacoma's art scene onto the global stage. Will you help?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It will cost $20,000 to send 6 of us to Jogja &amp; Jakarta so we are spreading the word and seeking support from everyone who cares about invigorating Tacoma's art scene.
</div>
<div><br />
