Tapestry Boutique Applications
Tapestry: A Day for You embraces the creative minds of women by inviting area artists and artisans to exhibit their work in the Tapestry Boutique. Located inside the main exposition area among the sponsor exhibits and the main program area, Tapestry Boutique exhibitors have a wonderful opportunity to introduce their work to 1,400 women in a single day.
Artists and artisans are selected by the Tapestry Boutique Committee based on the quality of their hand-crafted work and the anticipated interest level of Tapestry guests. The Boutique area sold out in 2013. Please visit the Tapestry Website for more information or contact the Tapestry office at tapestry@ipfw.edu or 260-481-6854. Applications are due January 10, 2014.

Happy Holidays!
I love the holidays, but have to admit they can be a little stressful. It's the time of year when I search for that special something for my friends and family. If you're like me, you appreciate a unique gift idea. This year, give something truly thoughtful! On Friday, April 25, 2014, more than 1,400 women will enjoy a day of inspiration, renewal, and education at Tapestry. Why not give that day to someone special on your list? Download a gift certificate (PDF) ready to be completed and wrapped, then send us an email at tapestry@ipfw.edu and include the name of that special someone. In March we'll send you an email reminder to register her (and you!) for Tapestry.
Registration for open seating is $65 each and a reserved table for 10 is $700. It's a gift you can look forward to giving. When the snow melts and spring is finally here, you and your friends can relax and enjoy Tapestry: A Day for You together.
