What's new on the walls, stage, screen and streets of Tacoma and South Puget Sound.

Art. Clothes. Preventing domestic violence. Those three come together this weekend in the 15th annual RAGS Wearable Art Sale and Show, held at Larson Mercedes-Benz in Fife. When you get to shop for unique, creative styles, buy from local artists and support the YWCA's domestic violence prevention programs all at the same time, what's not to like?

From this Friday to Sunday the show is free. Local and regional artists, jewelers and fashion designers like weaver Susan Pavel and jewelry artist Lisa Kinoshita strut their stuff, all of it individual. Otherwise, buy a $70 ticket for Thursday night's gala and get first picks, plus appetizers and wine.

Overall, 33 percent of purchases goes to help the YWCA program: last year, that meant $85,000 to help Pierce County domestic violence victims.

Gala 6-9 p.m. March 12; Show/Sale 10 a.m.-6 p.m. March 13 and 14 and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. March 15. Larson Mercedes-Benz of Tacoma, 4001 E. 20th St., Fife. 253-272-4181 x.352, www.ywcapiercecounty.org</div>
