Española Valley Fiber Arts Center

EVFAC addresses the critical gap in arts education by engaging youth in preserving their cultural heritage through fiber arts. The Youth Fiber Studio initiative targets both local teachers in schools without arts funding as well as youth interns to lead after-school and summer camp weaving programs. 

We equip classrooms with 3D-printed rigid heddle looms, yarn, and tools at no cost to schools or instructors. This approach - made affordable through donations, grants, volunteer efforts, and our board Vice President's ability to produce low-cost looms - enables us to make fiber arts education widely accessible despite funding constraints.

Your generous support will help us maintain and expand our Youth Fiber Studio initiative, ensuring that we continue to nurture creativity, preserve traditions, and develop valuable skills in our community's youth for generations to come.
