A Word from the our FASA President

If you've found this web site, you must be one of us -- interested in art, devoted to cloth, involved in an artistic community and open to adventure. Or maybe it was just an accident!

As fiber artists, we are involved in creating and appreciating art work that includes cloth, thread, natural paper fibers, wire and woven goods. We work as quilters, dyers, surface designers, felters, weavers, basket makers and seamstresses. Our interests range from embroidery to high tech printing, from pragmatic to the adventurous, from art to wear to art on the wall. We invite you to see more of our art work and activities by surfing through the site. And if you are in San Antonio or the Texas Hill Country, we invite you to join our membership for both in-person meetings, participation in our annual exhibition and art-to-wear fashion show and other events. Dallas and our own FASA.

2008 Art to Wear Runway Fashion Show and Luncheon

"Dancing Fibers", a dramatic, spirited, theatrical runway show will highlight one-of-a-kind garments designed and crafted by members of the Fiber Artists of San Antonio, a 35 year old non-profit organization.

The Annual Fashion Show and Luncheon, which includes a silent auction and sale, will be held May 3, 2008, at the Doubletree Hotel. Prize-winning garments from area high school students also will be showcased. Proceeds from the event will be used for education and scholarships for The University of the Incarnate Word and Southwest School of Art and Craft.

This year we offered the option to purchase tickets to the upcoming FASA wearable art fashion show on-line.
