WAC holds quarterly Saturday meetings, inviting nationally known guest artists
to present programs and workshops on a variety of topics such a quilting, dyeing, painting and surface embellishment.
Designed for professionals and amateurs alike, WAC is a group where wearable artists can relate to and share with each other
on a regular basis. The WAC membership includes many award winning artists in the field of wearable art, teachers in
the fiber arts, as well as a number of Fairfield and Bernina Fashion Show Designers.
WAC activities include the Annual WAC Challenge, a wearable art competion open to all members, with
awards for winning garments chosen by the membership at the November meeting. In 2000, WAC members' garments were in
an exhibition of wearables at the FIDM Museum LA. Also in 2000 WAC co-sponsored a lecture at LA County Museum of Art
given by Melissa Leventon from the M H de Young Museum in San Francisco. In 1997 and 1998 members' wearable art was
displayed in "ART WRAP" at the World Quilt and Textiles Shows in Pasadena.
