What is Textile Arts LA?

Textile Arts LA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring, connecting, and championing the textile arts community. We foster a dynamic and inclusive space for artists, makers, and enthusiasts across Los Angeles and Southern California to engage with the rich traditions and evolving practices of textile arts.

Our community includes artists, designers, curators, educators, collectors, and advocates—all united by a passion for textiles. Through exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and networking events, we create opportunities for learning, collaboration, and creative exchange.

By highlighting local talent, organizing original programming, and providing essential resources, we strive to elevate and expand the influence of textile arts. Join us in weaving a stronger, more connected arts community.
