2026/27 programme
Our group organises a programme of Exhibitions around Scotland. These inspiring events showcase the varied approaches, themes, subjects and techniques that our artists work with, while promoting textiles as a fine art medium.
The Art of Regeneration
For 2026/27, we are running an exciting programme, The Art of Regeneration: Past Fabric, Future Vision. We'll be holding a series of workshops, discussion groups and learning opportunities to support our members in creating a significant body of work. We'll explore how textiles connect us — to materials, to the environment and to one another. This will culminate in a large exhibition in Spring/Summer 2027.
Follow us on social media if you're interested in finding out more.
Members' workshops
We support members of our group with their art practice through workshops, conversations, and time spent together organising and hanging exhibitions. We also meet as a group at various social events and at our Annual General Meeting.
