We Will Be Hosting New Lectures in 2024. They Will Be Open to the Public at No Charge.

We Are Always Working to Improve Our Festival So That We Can Better Engage With the Local Fiber Art Community. 

As a Result of Feedback We Have Received Over the Last Few Years, and Our Desire to Better Serve Our Patrons, We Have Decided to Pause the Fiber Arts Competitions for 2024. This Will Allow Us to Redirect Our Efforts to Plan for More Opportunities for Engagement. 

This Will Also Give Us Space in One of Our Buildings to Invite Local Groups and Guilds to Have a Presence at the Fiber Festival. We Would Like to Aid These Groups in Making Connections With the Festival Attendees So That We Can Help Foster a Rich and Diverse Fiber Arts Community.
