The Tapestry of Talent Fiber Art Fashion show, a fundraiser for the SW Women's Fiber Arts Collective (SWFAC), was held Saturday, April 6, 2024 at the historic Silco Theater in downtown Silver City. The show featured one-of-a-kind fiber art designs constructed especially for the event.
The show sold out and ticket holders were treated to a great show featuring more than 100 garments and accessories. The fundraiser is unique because 100 percent of the sales of the garments sold immediately after the show go to the maker of the item. This is part of SWFAC's mission which is to provide a means for rural fiber artisans to earn income. SWFAC receives the proceeds of the tickets sold and the gift basket drawings. This year, $2,400 was made by the artisans, up from $1,700 last year.
