Sixth Biennial Symposium. September 24-26, 1998. Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, New York.
This symposium was structured to encourage participants to explore the varied textile resources in New York City. A full complement of juried papers was presented at the Fashion Institute of Technology. For the first time, afternoon site seminars were also held concurrently at museums, historic houses, galleries, design studios, manufacturers’ showrooms and workrooms. Additional pre-symposium field trips offered overviews of a variety of textile disciplines as did several out-of-town excursions. Luncheons and evening activities enabled participants to meet others with their special interests.
