Tapestry is a highly skilled and intricate art form; it is only through the continued support and generosity of our donors and philanthropic community we can continue to bring tapestries to life.

The Australian Tapestry Workshop (ATW) is one of only a handful of hand-woven tapestry workshops remaining in the world. It is a national treasure; the home of a much-loved creative community that combines artisan excellence with the production of vibrant, beautiful contemporary art works.

Our mission is to extend this ancient form through the development of engaging new tapestries for broad and diverse public appreciation across Australia and the world.

As a small not for profit organisation, we need to raise nearly 70% of our annual operating costs through our Annual Appeal. Even the smallest donation has impact, so please help us to support artists and weavers with your donation.

Your gift enables us to provide:
