And now, a plug for our hard-working TNT multimedia expert Joe Barrentine! Joe's the mastermind behind a lot of the audio and video you see on our site, and I'm really pleased he's turned his attentions to a local community institution that helps a lot of folks via art. That's the Nativity House art room, where homeless Tacomans who drop in for food and day-time shelter can also feed their spirits. The art room is well-stocked with paint, pencils, paper, mixed media and storage space, and is a boon to artists who don't have a home or studio, as well as those using the shelter who just want to express themselves.

Here's a video Joe recently made of the Nativity House art room.
