TaCo to run Tollbooth (20. August 2007, 15:21 by Erik) ~ Not the Narrows Tollbooth, though
Tacoma Contemporary (TaCo), the non-profit running the Woolworth Windows on Broadway, will soon program the Toolbooth Gallery, also on Broadway. The gallery was created by ArtRod and billed as “the World’s Smallest Gallery Dedicated Exclusively to Experimental Video and Wheat-Pasted Paper Fine Arts.”
From ArtRod’s website:
The Tollbooth was once a TV-Tacoma information kiosk that had long since been abandoned and abused. During the Summer and Fall of 2003, ArtRod was granted access to this kiosk and given authority by the City of Tacoma to use this former eyesore to program artworks for the public.
ArtRod also published the magazine Toby Room and ran the gallery Critical Line on St. Helens (now the home of the Rainbow Center). Last week the Board of ArtRod asked TaCo if they would like to take over the Tollbooth as part of ArtRod’s decision to disband the organization.

Boy it would be nice if they could find a way to get a couple LCDs in there instead of those dull TV screens they currently have. A cool project/spot nonetheless.
