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.

Congratulations to the Children's Museum of Tacoma and the American Society for Environmental History, who are recipients in the spring round of grants by Humanities Washington. The organization gives grants and organizes programs to promote literacy and critical thinking.
Out of 45 proposals, Humanities Washington awarded 15 grants totalling $69,170 this June, which were announced this week. The Children's Museum of Tacoma received $7,000 for its "Tricksters" exhibit and programs, which uses the award-winning folktale picture books of Gerald McDermott to encourage storytelling, art and creative play. The Tacoma-based American Society for Environmental History received $5,325 for the Tacoma Environmental Film Festival, which brings together scholars, students and filmmakers to present eight environmentally-themed films with a regional focus.
The "Tricksters" exhibit, called "Soar into Story," is still up at the CMT, located at 936 Broadway, Tacoma. Hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. monday-Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday.
