Established in 1968, Ararat Gallery TAMA (Textile Art Museum Australia) has a unique place amongst Australia's public galleries, through its longstanding commitment to supporting and promoting textile and fibre art – a curatorial and collection focus that began in the early 1970s.
The gallery has continuously collected textile and fibre based art since the early 1970s. Today the collection is arguably the most significant of its kind in Australia.
On the first Thursday of the month, they also host a Stitching Circle, a friendly monthly gathering for lovers of stitching. You can bring your embroidery, sewing, knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, any textiles project. All varieties of stitching and skill level welcome and there is no need to book.
