Go West Grand Opening Day Nearly four years after the German billionaire Erivan Haub and family announced their gift of some 300 works to TAM, plus most of the funding for a $15.5 million museum expansion (adding one-third more space), we can see both the art and the architecture (by Seattle’s Tom Kundig) unveiled today. Haub, a grocery-chain magnate, spent considerable time in the U.S. and Tacoma (where his sons were born); representatives of his family will be on hand for today’s ceremonies. In addition to the opening of Art of the American West: The Haub Family Collection, new works from Northwest artists Julie Speidel and Marie Watt go on view. TAM has a curator talk, music, craft-making, and family activities planned to help celebrate. (There’ll even be a stagecoach ride for the kids.) Inside the new wing, you can appreciate about half the Haub bequest (the collection will rotate), including landscapes by Albert Bierstadt, nature studies by Georgia O’Keeffe, and bronze cowboy sculptures by Charles M. Russell. A new catalog has been written for the Haub collection; and because every museum needs a mascot, as SAM’s Hammering Man can attest, today also marks the gift-shop debut of Cody the toy stuffed bison. (9:30 a.m.-5 p.m.) BRIAN MILLER Tacoma Art Museum, 1701 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, WA 98402 Free Saturday, November 15, 2014
