Our Mission

The mission of non-profit Textile Study Group of New York is to educate and promote a wider appreciation of fiber art among the larger art community and the public in general.

We are an inclusive and diverse group of artists, teachers, curators, writers, and appreciators. Many members are creators, from beginners to experienced professionals. We work with a wide and varied array of fiber forms, materials and techniques. There is no limit to our creativity!

Our History

In the late 1970’s Nancy Koenigsberg founded the group with five others. TSGNY now has members worldwide and our size has grown over time. You can read about the group’s beginnings here.

TSGNY Today

Our ten monthly meetings are presentations by professionals from across the globe and an annual presentation by our members. Our monthly pre-meetings give two members an opportunity to present their own work and vision in more depth. Monthly chats keep us personally connected.

TSGNY’s website promotes members’ work with our bi-annual online gallery. Two bi-monthly newsletters highlight both our members’ shows and other textile-related exhibits of interest. We have had numerous group shows throughout New York City and the U.S. as well as overseas. We continue to grow, thrive and learn as a community.
