Editorial
On 20th and 21th June 2020 we will be holding the 16th TEXTILE ART BERLIN.
Our motto for 2020 will be "Creative Connection: meet the Makers".
In a time in which more and more encounters take place only on a virtual level, it is particularly important for us to give our audience the opportunity to meet the real "makers" who present their work.
The materials and books offered at our fair also have the great advantage of being "tangible" in the truest sense of the word!
We hear more and more from the public that they are glad that there are still such opportunities - and that they are of such a high standard.
The cooperation with our host, the PHORMS Campus, is running smoothly. We are very happy about that, also about the help of the students.
During the fair the new and varied menu of the "Three Cooks" is also very well received.
Our new sampler exhibition has already been invited to fair 2020 "Nadel und Faden", taking place in Osnabrück.
All the application forms for the TAB 2020 are currently being revised. They will be ready by the end of September. As always, this year's participants will receive the documents automatically and can secure their right to the same place, if they register during the early bird period. New applicants are welcome at any time.
