With registration now open for this year’s Art Sparks sessions, excitement is building for the Handweavers Guild of America, Inc.’s (HGA) 7-day Spinning & Weaving Week Celebration! This virtual extravaganza showcases the fiber arts with vendor demonstrations and product talks, virtual studio tours, speakers, panels, mini-workshops, and a fun fashion show. We anticipate 1,000 fiber enthusiasts will attend Spinning & Weaving Week either in real time or by viewing recordings.

Not only will your contribution put your business in front of event attendees, but it will also help sustain HGA’s programs, reaching over 10,000 fiber enthusiasts, at their highest level of artistic and educational excellence.

To maximize your impact, this 7-day digital conference, presented digitally through the Cvent platform, is available to attendees for up to 90 days following the event. Sponsorships start at $200.
