EXHIBITIONS- What people are saying
Mind-expanding art packed into cramped quarters at Tollbooth . . . what it lacks in space, it achieves in time . . . on top of that, it’s fabulous.”

Tacoma takes the lead in cool public art ideas with the Tollbooth

. . . part-fluxus, part-Scooby Doo
-Jen Graves
Tacoma News Tribune, July 25, 2004

This is a brilliant way to deliver street level public art to the City and provide more public exposure to experimental media. This programming is truly unique and will garner exposure on a national level.
-Amy McBride
Public Art Administrator for the City of Tacoma

Art that is eager to wrestle with reality can be found at the Tollbooth. Terrific videos are being screened there, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.”
-Regina Hackett
Organ Review of Arts (Portland), March/April 2004

“. . . intriguing, mysterious, humorous, engaging in a strangely detached way and conceptually brilliant . . .”

More and more of the city’s hottest art shows are popping up in unlikely places (like the) fascinating TOLLBOOTH GALLERY. I’d like to give its governing group, ArtRod, a special nod of approval.
