Founded in 1977, The Fabric Workshop and Museum is the only museum in the country devoted to using fabric as a material and metaphor for creating new works of art, and making these works accessible to a diverse audience through extensive educational programs. Through the acclaimed residency program, The Fabric Workshop and Museum provides artists of all disciplines the opportunity and technical support to experiment with fabric and new materials in a unique laboratory setting. Exhibition programming and educational outreach enable the public to experience contemporary art firsthand, from concept through production, presentation, and preservation.
