Nordic

The organization is deeply rooted in the North and because of that it is able to create a platform for textile art locally, nationally as well as internationally. The organization is working in order to advance and promote textile art for individual artists and art organizations, as well as for art hierarchical/political purposes.

Background

Nordic Textile Art was created in 2006 by a group of textile artists in the Swedish province of Bohuslän. The initiative was taken by textile artist Elsa Agélii, feeling that a meeting point for textile art was missing. The original name for the organization was up until 2008 ”Föreningen Nordiskt Galleri för Textil Konst”, (The Association for a Nordic Gallery for Textile Art.)
