Who We Are
Incorporated in 2005, the Southwest Women’s Fiber Arts Collective is a grassroots, non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Our goal is to stimulate and support successful cottage fiber industry in the Southwest. We provide communication and information among artisans and guilds about art & craft shows and sales, workshops, classes, and teachers. We offer outreach fiber art programs to youth through our local libraries to encourage the next generation of fiber artisans. We also offer free mending of clothes and items throughout the year.
The mission for Southwest Women’s Fiber Arts Collective is to:
- celebrate fiber art and realize its economic potential
- nurture and empower both novice and skilled fiber artists
- enrich the community by fostering opportunities to experience, learn and earn
