Established in 1976, the Australian Tapestry Workshop (ATW) is a not-for-profit visual arts organisation with a global reputation for creating contemporary handwoven tapestries. ATW empowers creative partnerships with a broad scope of artists and architects. Each tapestry is a unique opportunity to engage with the ATW weaving team to explore artistic ideas and innovate.

The ATW is internationally renowned for creating handwoven contemporary tapestries. We are unique to Australia and one of only a few workshops remaining worldwide. The ATW's far-reaching reputation and longstanding cultural partnerships enable us to present a global program to local audiences and share Victorian creative excellence with the world.

Our South Melbourne open studio, colour laboratory and galleries are a creative hub for engagement with tapestry, textiles and contemporary art. We develop and deliver multitiered programming that educates and inspires arts and general audiences through online and real-world avenues. We nurture creative exchange and share our specialist knowledge across generations.
