Acquisition Endowment Fund

At the time of the inception of the Textile Arts Council, our Acquisition Endowment Fund was established to annually provide funds for the purchase of objects to enrich the textile collections. As the fund’s principal has grown over the years, the amount of money available to acquire new textiles has also grown. The curators propose the purchase of objects they believe will enhance the collections to the Board of Directors, who then act on behalf of the membership to release the necessary funds. All such acquisitions are then identified as “Museum Purchase, Textile Arts Council Endowment Fund” on their museum label.
