ABOUT US
The GFR Tapestry Program was founded in 1997 to foster the creative practice and cultural study of tapestry-making from ancient to modern times. From 1998 until 2012, when we closed our offices, the Program’s research projects and public programs addressed the art of traditional and contemporary tapestry, handwoven around the world. Through this website, we continue to encourage the scholarly understanding and public appreciation of tapestries.
