The Fiber Arts Fiesta is the Council's main
fundraiser and is presented biennially in odd years
with the cooperation of the Council's co-sponsoring
guilds (now numbering 17). We are gearing up for our
10th Anniversary Fiesta, in May, 2015!
The Fiber Arts Education Committee
offers opportunities in keeping with the Council's
educational mission. Scholarships and monetary
funding for individuals and guild programs are now
available by application to the Council. Additionally,
there are three fiber arts storyboards available for
educational purposes. Click Here for further

excited about the November Fiber Arts Cruising
