Tapestry Foundation of Australia
The Tapestry Foundation of Australia was established in 1995 to enable and encourage the development of tapestry in Australia through collaborations with the ATW. It has since generously supported a wide range of ATW initiatives from tapestry creation, publishing books on the work of the ATW, exhibitions of tapestries nationally and internationally, international visiting speakers through the Hancock Fellowship, and international weaver exchanges through the Myer Scholarship.
