FIBER ART TRAILS in NEW MEXICO

New Mexico has historically promoted the fiber arts beginning with early colonial days when weaving and wool were main exports.

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, this project will bring visitors and creators together.  Go on line to www.nmarts.org and find out how you can acquire your free copy of the booklet and the trail map.

For more information about tourist destinations in New Mexico, contact the State Visitor Information Center at www.newmexico.org .

Albuquerque, New Mexico, the largest city in the state has many interesting sites to visit from the Atomic Museum to the Zoo plus ten (at last count) fiber art stores in the area selling quilting, weaving, knitting and embroidery supplies  Check out the Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau by calling 1-800-284-2282 or see  www.itsatrip.org.
