The first meeting of the ARLIS/Twin Cities chapter for 2006 will be held on Tuesday, March 7 at the Textile Center in Minneapolis: http://www.textilecentermn.org/ .  The Textile Center is a national center for fiber art. Its mission is to promote excellence in fiber art, and preserve textile traditions. The Center represents and supports fiber artists in all forms of textiles including weaving, quilting, knitting, sewing, needlework, lace making, basketry and beading. The Center also has a circulating library with over 9,000 items.

 

Plan to arrive by 9:15 am for refreshments followed by a brief business meeting at 9:30.  Items on the agenda will include an overview of meeting venues for 2006, discussion of a proposal to promote the Twin Cities as the site for a future ARLIS/NA national conference, and developing guidelines for a chapter travel award that would begin in 2007.  A detailed agenda will be sent out to attendees by March 1.  A tour of the facility, led by the Textile Center’s Librarian, Nancy Mambi, will follow at about 10.  We should be finished up by approximately 11 am.

 

We hope many of you can make it on the 7th.  Please RSVP to this email to let us know if you will attend.  Membership fees are due at this meeting.  For a membership form, follow the link to this site from the ARLIS/TC member’s page:
