Support The Monkeyshines Project 2025- Year of the Snake

It's our 22nd year of creating Monkeyshines for Tacoma!

Please consider supporting The Monkeyshines Project to help us keep the magic going in 2025.

This beloved Tacoma tradition is fully dependent on grants and donations from people just like you. This year, we’ll be hiding over 3,000 glass objects embossed with many stamps celebrating the Year of the Snake and commissioning Tacoma artists. These glass artworks will be hidden all across Tacoma for you to search for. And if you find one, you get to keep it.

We’re celebrating the 22nd year of this citywide treasure hunt, and it feels more important than ever right now to create community through art.

Dozens of people have donated hundreds of hours of their time to pull this off. Believe us—no one is making money off this thing. But we still love doing it. Every dollar you donate today will support the creation of the glass objects and artworks we hide for you to find and keep.

Thank you for 22 years of good old-fashioned Monkeybusiness. It could only happen in our beloved Tacoma.
