The beauty of Textile Center's Garage Sale Occasional Shop is that it raises significant financial support for Textile Center programs -- even during a global pandemic!
It safely brings together artists/makers from across the region, provides materials to artists and makers at affordable prices, and promotes reusing, recycling, and re-purposing! Please keep this mission in mind while volunteering.

Our September 2022 Textile Garage Sale Occasional Shop will take place at:
Art & Architecture Building, Unit #230, 3338 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55414
