SAQA WC member Susan Selby of Manitoba tells us more...
We are excited to announce the inaugural
meeting of the Textile and Fibre Artists
of Manitoba (TFAM). The meeting will
take place in the Small Meeting Room at Creative Manitoba, 300 - 245 McDermot
Avenue, Winnipeg on Wednesday, October 25 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. Refreshments and discussions to follow.
All textile and fibre artists in Manitoba
are potential members of this group. Our
goals are:
* Networking amongst the diverse artists throughout
the province. Technology
will be used for those in remote areas;
* Sharing our expertise and experience;
* Advocacy for our arts, promoting the art
forms, arranging group shows; and
* Learning and encouraging artistic
development.
A
newsletter will keep members informed and meetings will rotate throughout the
province.
If you are interested in our mandate but
unable to attend this meeting, we would still like to hear from you; please
email tfamartists@gmail.com to introduce yourself and share your
experiences. Your ideas will be welcomed.

Editor's Note: due to the distances between us across the SAQA Western Canada Region, getting a group together is a challenge (just ask your Regional Co-Reps, past and present!) We need to support each other and our work, and come together with enthusiasm and engagement, whether in a POD, at a Regional Retreat, a SAQA Conference -- or just over a cup of coffee. Best wishes to Susan and her colleagues for the success of this initiative!
