ANNUAL REPORT APRIL 1, 2018 – MARCH 31, 2019

Textile Center’s mission is to honor traditions, promote excellence and innovation, and inspire widespread participation in art. LETTER FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Textile Center is admired by fiber artists and enthusiasts from around the country, and often we’re asked by visitors: “How did such a special place like this come to fruition?” The comment that often follows is: “I wish there was a place like this back home!”

We don’t take Textile Center for granted. Before our founding in 1994, guilds had operated in isolation, with limited opportunities to exhibit and sell art, work with specialized equipment, or pursue training. It took tenacious founders to create a bold vision and to rally the guilds and fiber artists around a common cause.

We’re proud to welcome more than 20,000 visitors each year! We embrace all forms of , including stitching, , , , , , felting, beading, , , installation, performance, social practice, multimedia, and so much more.

We are grateful to the support we receive from our 30 affiliated guilds, and more than 1,000 individual members. It takes a village for an arts organization like ours to thrive, and we have an impressive community of support. Photo by Barbara LaValleur

“Textile Center is my creative place. It’s where I can come and meet people who understand when I talk about a particular technique, or when I get excited about being able to do something, and who will feed me their ideas. I'll go home filled with creative ideas. It's just an exciting place to be, as well as a welcoming place.”
