We are thrilled to roll out our new website! weavearealpeace.org – home of all things WARP – has undergone a major overhaul. The new website has many valuable resources, and we are outlining some of the exciting highlights here.
WARP’s Annual Meeting brings members together for education, fellowship, and networking.
With over 500 WARP members living and working in textile communities around the world, this exhibition showcases a diversity of artistic creations and traditions from Argentina, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Laos, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, Uganda, the United States, and more.
Mark your calendars! We already have dates set for WARP’s 2024 Annual Meeting.
