Are you a maker, scholar, curator, or textile enthusiast with a story to tell? The Textile Society of America invites our members to step into the spotlight through our TSA Member Social Media Takeover Series!

We’re offering multiple opportunities throughout the year for members to host takeovers on TSA’s Instagram and Facebook channels. Whether you want to showcase a project, highlight research, share behind-the-scenes studio moments, or take us on a virtual field trip. This is your chance to engage TSA’s global audience and elevate your work.

Who Can Apply:
Current TSA members at any stage of their career, working in any area of textile-related practice, research, or engagement.

What You’ll Do:
Selected members will curate content for a weekend-long feature, sharing images, videos, and stories that reflect your unique perspective and connection to textiles. You’ll work closely with TSA’s communications team to shape your posts and amplify your voice.

Why Participate:

• Share your work with TSA’s 35K+ followers across platforms
• Connect with new audiences and fellow members
• Contribute to a vibrant, inclusive community of textile thinkers and doers
• Be featured on TSA’s website and newsletter

How to Submit:
Fill out our short interest form below under “Register“, and tell us what you’d like to share. Include a short bio, 2-3 sample images, and a brief description of your proposed takeover theme or content.

Deadline: Rolling submissions accepted through October 15, 2025. 

Let’s celebrate the diverse voices that make up our textile world—starting with yours!

Your TSA membership isn’t just a subscription. It’s a statement.

It says you value cross-cultural exchange, believe in the power of shared knowledge, and want to stay connected to a global network of textile thinkers and makers. It also provides essential support for TSA’s work, helping us create spaces for storytelling, research, and community-building rooted in artistic, cultural, historical, and technical perspectives.

We’ve been listening. In recent surveys and listening sessions, members told us what they value most: opportunities to connect. To collaborate. To create together. This year, TSA is responding with more in-person meet-ups, exclusive workshops, and meaningful ways to build relationships across the textile field.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, networking opportunities, or access to research and resources, your TSA membership opens the door to all of it and more.
