It's the third Thursday of the month, meaning it's time for Artwalk in Tacoma. The Art Bus will be in full force (leaving at 6 p.m. in front of the Tacoma Art Museum), the galleries will all be putting their best foot forward, the major museums will be free and open to all and even Clancy's Coffee on Pacific Avenue will be getting into the action - offering up poets, dancers and an open mic from the D.A.S.H. Center for the Arts, as well as artist Liza Brown painting and music from Kashmir. Good times will be had by all.

[Downtown Tacoma, 5-8 p.m., free, artwalktacoma.com]
