The GFR Center conducts and promotes tapestry-related research and serves as
an informal resource center. Our current projects include ongoing
Southwestern Textile Research and exciting new investigations in the
Gloria F. Ross Archives.
On an annual basis, we sponsor a free public
lecture, usually in collaboration with a museum or
another educational organization. From time to time, we collaborate with
other non-profit groups on conferences, exhibits, publications, and workshops.
All of our collaborations, including events at the
Arizona State Museum,
serve to explain the varied aspects of tapestry and to encourage the
worldwide understanding of tapestry as a fascinating art form.
To attract a broad audience, we offer our public events in different
parts of the country. Thus far, we've held events in New York, Los Angeles,
Minneapolis, Chicago, Santa Fe, and Tucson. Look for our presence in other
locations including Washington, D.C., and Boulder, Colorado, in the future!
