Family Program: Feeling Fun!

Founded in 1977, The Fabric Workshop and Museum both makes and presents, encouraging artists to experiment with new materials and new media in a veritable living laboratory. Through its renowned Artist-in-Residence (AIR) Program, FWM collaborates with artists to expand their practices, while documenting the course of artistic production from inspiration to realization. Today, FWM is the only US institution devoted to creating work in textile and new media in collaboration with some of the most significant artists of our time. Presenting large scale exhibitions, installations, and performative works, FWM seeks to bring this spirit of artistic investigation and discovery to the wider public. In addition to complete works of art, FWM’s permanent collection also includes material research, samples, and prototypes. Serving as an educational center for Philadelphia’s youth from the outset, FWM remains dedicated to developing programs and opportunities for local students and emerging artists, advancing the role of art as catalyst for innovation and social connection.

The Fabric Workshop and Museum

Join us to explore The Fabric Workshop and Museum’s current exhibition Ursula von Rydingsvard: The Contour of Feeling and engage in an afternoon of art-making activities. Children and adults will have the opportunity to make a jacket patch out of felt, sparkly accessories and screen printing—all inspired by Ursula von Rydingsvard’s new sculpture PODERWAĆ, 2017, a monumentally sized motorcycle jacket made in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum.  Families will also receive a guided tour of the exhibition. Fun refreshments will be served!
