The Textile Society of America is a non-profit organization based in Millersville, Maryland, established in 1987. It serves as an international forum for exchanging and disseminating information about textiles from multiple angles, including artistic, cultural, economic, historic, political, social, and technical perspectives. The organization supports a global membership of museum curators, educators, historians, artists, students, dealers, and collectors, and it maintains a program of biennial symposia whose juried papers are published in Proceedings, alongside a Newsletter and an annual textile bibliography that are included with membership. In addition to its events, TSA fosters collaboration through partnerships and public-facing projects, such as programs and partnerships with institutions like The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum, and it has historically expanded its offerings with initiatives like a Makerspace page featuring fiber art tutorials. TSA positions itself within the non-profit, museum, and academic end of the textile field, emphasizing scholarly exchange and the curatorial and educational illumination of textiles worldwide.
