Our Mission

The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) exists to enable the finest artists today to work with new materials and new media, to expand the frontiers of contemporary artistic practice, and to educate the public about the significance of contemporary art.

Committed to the collaborative creative process in an open cultural climate, FWM supports artists' residencies, exhibitions, a permanent collection and its preservation, and public programs, all of these based on experimentation in new materials and new media for the purpose of educating and inspiring artists, apprentices, and the general public.
