Arts reporter and critic Rosemary Ponnekanti keeps you in touch with the arts and culture scene with the help of other News Tribune writers, critics and editors.
Rosemary Ponnekanti is the arts reporter at The News Tribune, and has been a classical music nerd nearly all her life. Besides spending way too much time in galleries, museums and concert halls, she occasionally brings a whistle or double bass to Celtic jam sessions, and insists on singing "Happy Birthday" in four-part harmony.

You wouldn't usually think of Tacoma Art Museum as a den of iniquity, but this Thursday it's coming close., with alcohol, belly dancing and naked women (on the walls, of course.) The programs team there usually think up fun stuff for ArtWalk night, and this month the theme is Middle Eastern, to coincide with the Ottoman-era art in the middle gallery.
Arrive between 5-7:30 p.m. and drink up the happy-hour-priced wine and microbrews in the cafe. The belly dancing starts at 6 p.m. in the galleries, followed by live East-West-themed music. Then of course you can check out the art--don't miss the enormous, gorgeously naked lady in the Ottoman show, "The Abduction of a Herzegovenian Woman.”
5-8 p.m. Nov. 20. Tacoma Art Museum, 1701 Pacific Ave., Tacoma. Free. 253-272-4258, www.tacomaartmuseum.org
