Guild Development Retreat
January 31, 2026

 

The Handweavers Guild of America, Inc.’s (HGA) Guild Development Retreat is a one-day virtual learning experience to educate, motivate, and inspire fiber art guilds. Through panels and discussions, we aim to strengthen guild leadership, unite organizations, and provide a platform for the sharing of ideas. Participants should end the day feeling motivated to build and grow their guilds, ensuring that all guilds can thrive. The event will be presented virtually through Cvent with the ability to host an unlimited number of attendees. All sessions are recorded and available for registered attendees to view at their convenience for up to 90 days. With more than 190 affiliate memberships, we anticipate that 300 to 600 fiber enthusiasts will attend HGA’s Guild Development Retreat either in real-time or by viewing recordings.

 
Contributions help extend HGA’s programming to more than 10,000 fiber artists and art enthusiasts through our various programs and sustain our programs at their highest level of artistic and educational excellence.
 
We understand that the dollars you spend need to bring the maximum benefit to your company. Corporate sponsors are offered exclusive benefits and services based on their level of contribution. Our packages are carefully structured at each level to provide the maximum visibility and the greatest mutual benefit but can be tailored to meet your organization’s philanthropic or marketing objectives. For more information, please call (470) 893-0556 or email HGA@WeaveSpinDye.org. Download Sponsorship Packages
