Confused about the name of the group you are joining? We understand! We were founded as the Española Valley Fiber Arts Center in 1995. In 2019, after the addition of a store space in Santa Fe, the name was changed by membership vote to the New Mexico Fiber Arts Center. During the 2020 pandemic the Santa Fe store was closed, and the only location left is - the Española Valley Fiber Arts Center of the New Mexico Fiber Arts Center. Currently, we are in the process of transitioning back to using only The Española Valley Fiber Arts Center as our name.
