Organizer
Textile Arts Guild of Richmond (TAGOR)
Formed in 1975, The Textile Arts Guild of Richmond (TAGOR) currently fulfils its mandate by:
1) Advancing textile arts creation by offering members educational and inspiring services such as guest speakers, demonstrations, workshops and Library resources. It publicizes and encourages members to enter public shows and exhibitions with works by the individual and by the Guild. We offer demonstrations of our art and hands-on learning experiences several times a year for the public.
2) Producing and creating quilts, book bags, knitted items etc., as requested by our community partner organizations. We also actively seek out new organizations with connections to Richmond that can benefit from our donations.
