(SWFAC) features wearable fiber art and accessories. The fiber art fashions made by members of
SWFAC showcase one-of-a-kind designs constructed especially for the event. The show will be held
Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 1 pm at the historic Silco Theater located at 311 N. Bullard St. in downtown
Silver City. Funds raised by the event will go to support classes, outreach to the community, and sales
events.

"In addition to the many stunning wearable art and accessories at the fashion show, there is also a gift
basket raffle. Four generous baskets are filled with a beautiful selection of items and each basket is
valued around five hundred dollars", states Annette Rubino-Buckley of the basket committee.

"We are grateful to the SWFAC members and community members that have donated this year," states
Jean Hill of the basket committee. Tickets are available only to those attending the fashion show with
the drawing held immediately after the fashion show and attendees must be present to win."

Pam Gibson, also on the basket committee states, "The drawing is a fun interlude after the fashion
show, while the garments are being made ready for purchase. The baskets have a variety of fiber art,
wearables, jewelry, and gift cards to name a few of the items."

As noted, many of the fashions and accessories in the fashion show will be available for sale
immediately after the show. All fashions will be listed along with their price in the Tapestry of Talent
program.

Seating for the event is open and attendees are encouraged to come early at 12:30 pm to be sure to get
the seat they want. Refreshments will be available in the Silco Theater concession.

We are especially grateful to our sponsors, the Town of Silver City and Janey and Suzi and the Elks
Club.. Tickets are only $20 and can be purchased online on the homepage at
www.fiberartscollective.org. The event sold out early the past two years.
