Textile Treasure Sale: October 9, 10 and 11, 2026
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind fundraising event celebrating the beauty, history, and creativity of fiber arts.
For the Textile Treasure Sale this fall, we’ve invited the community to donate vintage, global, and artist-made textiles, garments, home goods, and fiber art of all kinds to support TAC’s mission. These donated treasures will be curated into a special sale weekend where shoppers can discover unique finds while directly supporting TAC’s accessible fiber arts programming.
To date, we have accepted 1,500+ beautiful items from more than 60 countries and regions. A few highlights collected so far include:
Victorian beaded purses
Late-1800s quilts
Handwoven textiles from Lesotho
Batik garments from Burkina Faso
Felted and embroidered rugs from Kyrgyzstan
Japanese kozo (mulberry) papers with stunning designs
Handknit Aran sweaters, embroidered linens, rugs, and wall hangings.
Some especially rare and unique pieces will also be featured in a silent auction on Friday and Saturday.
