Welcome To
The Texas Museum of Fiber Arts

The Texas Museum of Fiber Arts was created to foster education and creativity in fiber art expression, experience, and appreciation.

This innovative museum exists to generate and promote artistic expressions in fiber arts of all kinds by exhibiting works of Texas artists and art made by Texans. It will promote and advance fiber art with educational activities and touring exhibits placed in selected venues throughout the state. In addition, the TMFA will work collaboratively and network with the many fine existing museums and institutions and fiber arts organizations.

It is a museum without walls, rather than a collections museum. It exhibits three dimensional works of textile and other natural and man-made fibers on tour throughout the state. The TMFA will exhibit in banks, offices, lobbies, stores, parks, etc.

Educational classes are available for those wanting artistic experiences and skill enhancement. Ideally, the instructions will be free to participants and when possible, materials and equipment may be provided.

Artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts are invited to participate in creating exhibits and locating sites centrally available to viewers. Frequent movement and maximum exposure of exhibits is a requisite.

Essentially, we are taking art to where Texans work and thrive.The benefit to Texans is exposure to fiber arts collections on tour, a functional network of art events, and educational activities promoting and perpetuating the art, science, engineering, and craft of fiber arts.
