Become a Member! Expand your connections, whether that means widening the circulation of your artwork and images; publishing information about your services; or simply keeping abreast of what’s current in Maine fiber. We invite fiber artists, farm producers, collectors, enthusiasts, and friends to help us support Maine fiber—artists, farmers, shops, and learning centers—by joining and building this organization. Your support helps us keep our Topsham Center/Gallery open, make referrals to buyers and collectors looking for fiber art, send folks off to visit studios and farms, send out periodic newsletters, and dream up programs like our Fiber Folio, “Learning Fiber Art: Guide to Maine Teaching Resources,” “The Story of Fiber Art in Maine During the Past Half Century,” “Exploring Fiber Art Around Western Maine,” and our “Fiber Art Mini-Tour: Midcoast Maine” to name a few. Please consider becoming a current member of Maine Fiberarts to help support us in our endeavors on your behalf.
