WIP Artist Highlight: Hilla Shapira
Textile Arts Center (TAC) unites and empowers the textile community.
People of all ages use TAC as a resource to connect with fellow creatives, broaden their skills, deepen their understanding of textiles, and share their work publicly.
Since 2016 TAC has provided over $300K in scholarships for resident artists, young makers, and textile enthusiasts who otherwise could not afford our programs. We need to fundraise now to continue offering public programming and financial aid at this level.
TAC amplifies voices and provides a safer space for makers of all ages to join in community and engage in textile practices in the context of their heritage, race, ethnicity, gender, beliefs, and political standing. As a mission-driven small business, our success depends upon equity for all.
