Australian Textile Arts and Surface Design Association
In 2007 ATASDA’s constitution was amended to allow the formation of state-based branches and of groups. Two branches have been formed so far, in Queensland and NSW. The organisation continues to evolve, as the new roles and responsibilities are clarified. Currently both State Presidents also serve on the National Committee, promoting communication and close co-ordination.
The Australian Textile Arts & Surface Design Association Inc, known as ATASDA, is a non-profit and volunteer-run organisation. Its objectives are to promote, foster, develop & advance textile and fibre arts, to promote interaction and co-operation between textile artists and all artists using dyes, pigments, stitch and/or manipulative techniques for fibre and fabric decoration, to conduct and promote lectures, discussions, exhibitions, demonstrations and workshops, or any other activity designed to instruct or promote textile art.
