ANWG

The Association of Northwest Weavers Guilds (ANWG) is an association of fiber arts guilds located within the Pacific Northwest United States and Western Canada.

ANWG provides services and support to its Member Guilds with the idea that combining resources and providing an economy of scale, services can be provided that would not be possible for the individual guilds to provide on their own.

The Weaving Guilds of Oregon (WeGO) are excited to host the 2021 Association of Northwest Weavers’ Guilds (ANWG) Conference at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon June 7-12, 2021. Over the next two years, we’ll use this website to provide information leading up to the conference, keeping you updated on how our plans are progressing, along with details about events, workshops and seminars, and other exciting aspects of the conference.

At https://anwgconference2021.com, you’ll learn about the conference theme, Fiber Connections, and how it celebrates the connections that are made as a result of the coming together of people and fibers. You can also read about the significance behind the conference colors, and how they have been chosen to represent the host state of Oregon and what it is that connects us to the other states and provinces of the ANWG.

It is our hope that the information provided on this website will encourage you to make plans to attend this exiting conference. In addition to traditional events such as the ever-popular fashion show, spirited juried and open shows, wide-array of guild booth displays, lively market hall, and inspiring keynote address, we’ve also lined up unique events and amazing new shows.

As we move closer to June 2021, we’ll rollout out more information about the conference and events on this website, so stay tuned! Or better yet, if you’re interested in receiving email updates, sign up and we’ll send information to your inbox as it becomes available.  

We want to keep you informed as we move forward, and be responsive to your questions and concerns so that your experience as a conference attendee will be truly memorable.
