Collaborating with Artists, Revealing New Possibilities

Realizing our dreams takes more than a creative spark; it takes many layers of collaborative support. Collaboration for artists comes in the form of access to the right tools, a proper studio, a knowledgeable guide, a highly skilled teammate, a trusted mentor, a reputable platform, and the capital investments that sustain all these needs.

That’s where you come in! For the past 47 years, The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) has provided the reputation, exhibition space, studio, tools, teachers, mentors, and artistic collaborators that fuel artists from the internationally recognized to our communities’ most promising apprentices and K-12 students in our public schools.

But it takes YOU and your spark of generosity to make it all happen. This summer, FWM needs you to unlock a grant opportunity offered by The Marion Boulton “Kippy” Stroud Foundation. A new gift made in the next eight weeks will unlock a gift of the same amount!

The Key = New Gifts

New gifts are the key to unlocking the challenge. If you’ve never given to FWM before, any donation you share will be “new” and begin to unlock the award. If you’ve given to FWM recently, any amount over your previous gift will count as “new,” too! Everyone has a chance to turn the key to unlocking this opportunity.

Tell Your Friends!

We need everyone’s help to Unlock the Challenge! Turning a key this size requires many hands. Build a team of friends to help with the lift.
