We’ve drafted a budget. We’ve drafted a timeline. And within that one-hour-long meeting\, nearly 40 key volunteer positions were filled. That kind of response speaks volumes about the excitement and commitment building around FI2028. \n\n\n\nThere is still plenty of room and many meaningful opportunities for folks to get involved. We’ve intentionally broken the work into small\, manageable logistical puzzle pieces that fit together\, making it easy to contribute in ways that match your interests\, skills\, and availability. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWe are still seeking co-directors to take the helm\, but it’s important to note that these roles will look very different from past iterations of the exhibition. Co-directorship would be more of a purely project management and liaison role\, supported by a clear plan\, a solid framework\, and a large\, energized team already in motion. Whoever steps into this role will be truly set up for success\, surrounded by dedicated guild members ready to make Fiberart International 2028 a reality. \n\n\n\nIf you’ve been curious\, waiting for the right moment\, or wondering how you might fit in\, this is it! We hope you’ll join us at this planning meeting and be part of shaping what promises to be an extraordinary exhibition. \n\n\n\nWith excitement and gratitude\,Staci OffuttFI Committee Chair \n\n\n\n \n \n FGP Zoom Event Registration\n Sign up to receive the Zoom link! \n \n FacebookThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Which event?(Required)FGP Office HoursPrograms Committee Meeting (March 5)Fi2028 Planning Session (March 9)Programs Committee Meeting (April 9)Programs Committee Meeting (May 14)Programs Committee Meeting (June 11)Use the drop down box to choose the zoom event you will be attending.
