The Texas Museum of Fiber Arts (TMFA) was created to foster education and creativity in fiber arts 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 arts with educational activities and touring exhibits placed in selected venues throughout the state. In addition, 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. TMFA will exhibit in banks, offices, lobbies, stores, parks, etc.

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

Our main source of funding is through book sales, so purchase your copy of Touching Fiber Arts today!
