From the very first WARP “meeting” in 1992, we knew that the most important mission of this new organization was communication and networking. Our goal was to connect people who wanted to support textile artists with textile artists that needed support. In 1992, the internet had not yet been invented. INGLÉS/ESPAÑOL
