Textile Treasure Sale

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind sale event celebrating the beauty, history, and creativity of fiber arts.

For the Textile Treasure Sale, we’ve invited the community to donate vintage, global, and artist-made textiles, garments, home goods, and fiber art of all kinds to support TAC’s mission. These donated treasures will be curated into a special sale weekend where shoppers can discover unique finds while directly supporting the Textile Arts Center of Madison's accessible fiber arts programming.

We have accepted more than 2,000 beautiful items from 60+ countries and regions. A few highlights collected so far include:

• Victorian beaded purses

• Late-1800s quilts

• Handwoven textiles from Lesotho

• Batik garments from Burkina Faso

• Felted and embroidered rugs from Kyrgyzstan

• Japanese kozo (mulberry) papers with stunning designs

• Handknit Aran sweaters, embroidered linens, rugs, and wall hangings.

Forty especially rare and unique pieces will also be featured in a silent auction. The auction will be online starting Friday, October 2 (check back here for the link!), and auction items will be available to view in person at the event on October 9 and 10. The auction will close at 3pm on Saturday, October 10.
