INTRODUCTION
About the WTA Organization
The WTA Organization was born in 1997 in the city of Miami-Florida, United States, under the name of Women in Textile Art.
Pilar Tobón, Founding President and Colombian textile artist, raised this great challenge in view of the need to vindicate textile art locally and globally.
WTA has always pursued the goals of supporting-disseminating-promoting-encouraging textile artists and their works.
For the year 2009 and given the inclusive and universal character of textile art, it changes its name to World Textile Art.
