Surface Design Association

We at the Surface Design Association (SDA) promote awareness and appreciation of fiber art and support to artists and writers through publications, exhibitions, and events.

We are a community of thousands of textile artists, curators, educators, and enthusiasts across 40 countries and 6 continents. Our community encompasses the breadth and depth of contemporary artists and designers working with or inspired by fiber art and/or textile-based materials, methods, and techniques.

As an organization, we embrace fiber and textiles in the broadest terms including performance, social practice, and sound-based works. If you love textiles, you already belong.
