Fiber Art Trails in NM

The New Mexico Arts division has developed the New Mexico Fiber Art Trails, a
map and descriptive brochure which lists 72 rural sites in New Mexico that have
been designated fiber arts destinations. The map groups contingent stores, fiber art
studios, growers, processors, suppliers, galleries, workshops and creative
communities into 'trails' for convenient visiting. Prepared by the New Mexico Arts
organization, NMArts, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and a grass
roots network of fiber artists, this project will bring visitors and creators together.
New Mexico Fiber Arts is proud to introduce the updated New Mexico Fiber
Arts Trails Website www.nmfiberarts.org, debuting in July 2011! The updated
website is a fiber arts experience unto itself, with sumptous photographs and vivid
descriptions of fiber arts destinations throughout the state, updated site listings, and
an entire section devoted to resources for fiber artists.
