An inclusive community of fiber artists

Our Mission

The Fiber Artist Collective of Athens (FACA) is an inclusive community of fiber artists in and around Athens, Georgia, dedicated to sharing our passion for the fiber arts through community events, education, collaboration, community outreach, and more.

We aim to build a supportive and empowering community of creative individuals, regardless of skill level, to help one another reach our creative potential, to collaborate with and learn from others, and to share our passion and knowledge with a broader community.
