Hello, Members! This part of ATA's website specifically presents material that you will enjoy and find useful. This is what will you find here:

If you are looking for an online way to renew your membership, just look here and click the links near the top for the appropriate form. If you want more information about just what our Membership provides the benefits are listed here. They include:

• Tapestry Topics On-Line – containing excerpts from the latest issue of ATA's Newsletter, Tapestry Topics, posted here so that you can see the images in color. You will see that the layout differs from the black and white copy, since articles without images do not appear in the on-line version. Just click on "Tapestry Topics" in the navigation bar. For archived issues, check "Documents," below.

• Feature Articles – For our latest featured article, ATA is proud to bring to you Mary Lane, Editor, "Mounting and Hanging Tapestries: A Variety of Solutions." For the most recent reading material, just click on "Articles" in the navigation bar. If you want to see the past articles then click on "Documents" and scroll down to select the format you wish to read it in (online or .pdf).

• Programs – ATA offers our members a variety of programs that you can participate in. Included in these offerings are: Artist Pages, Distance Learning (Mentoring), Exhibitions, and a slide registry which includes slide sets of the American Tapestry Biennials.

• Discussion Forums – Another feature for our members, this bulletin board allows you to peruse posts in various forums and allows you to make posts to these same forums. The forums are divided up into several categories including: Announcements and ATA, Tapestry Discussions, Exchange Room (to sell items), Exhibitions, Technically Tapestry, and general Socializing.

• Documents – This page will have a bit of news posted from time to time, so don't overlook it! Here you will find a list of forms that you can download and use for paying dues or updating your Membership information, as well as forms for applying to our programs such as Mentoring, Artist Pages and Slide Registry. You will also find papers that ATA makes available to its Members such as Annual Reports, Press Releases, Correspondence, Member Survey and similar informative documents.
