Fabric Workshop and Museum

Comment on Facebook

The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) is the only non-profit arts organization in the United States devoted to creating new work in fabric and other materials in collaboration with emerging, nationally, and internationally recognized artists. Founded in 1977, The Fabric Workshop and Museum has developed from an ambitious experiment to a renowned institution with a widely-recognized Artist in Residence Program, an extensive permanent collection of new work created by artists at the Workshop, in-house and touring exhibitions, and comprehensive educational programming including lectures, tours, in-school presentations and student apprenticeships.
