Textiles Close Up: Education & Scholarship
Since 2013, Textiles Close Up has offered unparalleled study-workshops, granting scholars and collectors rare behind-the-scenes access to museum and private collections. Guided by world-renowned experts, participants engage deeply with textiles—examining materials, techniques, and cultural histories in storerooms, labs, and study rooms.

The Access Fund: Removing Barriers, Building Futures
Textiles connect cultures, disciplines, and generations but financial hurdles prevent many emerging professionals from joining this vital conversation. Your support of TSA’s Access Fund directly removes these barriers by funding memberships for students, independent artists, and global scholars who otherwise couldn’t participate.
Contemporary Voices
Contemporary Voices highlights contemporary textile artists and reflects TSA’s commitment to amplifying immigrant and diasporic voices. This program will relaunch as multi-platform accessible podcasts through recorded audio, transcripts, and videography/photography. Contemporary Voices strengthens our ability to foster cross-cultural exchange and expand access to textile scholarship.
