Textile Treasure Sale

About this event

Textile Treasure Sale: October 9, 10 and 11, 2026 Get ready for a one-of-a-kind fundraising event celebrating the beauty, history, and creativity of fiber arts. For the Textile Treasure Sale, we’ve invited the community to donate vintage, global, and artist-made textiles, garments, home goods, and fiber art of all kinds to support TAC’s mission. These donated treasures will be curated into a special sale weekend where shoppers can discover unique finds while directly supporting TAC’s accessible fiber arts programming. We have accepted more than 1,600 beautiful items from 60+ countries and regions. A few highlights collected so far include: Victorian beaded purses Late-1800s quilts Handwoven textiles from Lesotho Batik garments from Burkina Faso Felted and embroidered rugs from Kyrgyzstan Japanese kozo (mulberry) papers with stunning designs Handknit Aran sweaters, embroidered linens, rugs, and wall hangings. Forty especially rare and unique pieces will also be featured in a silent auction on Friday and Saturday. EVENT DETAILS Friday, October 9, 5-8pm: Treasure Preview Sale.
