Support Artists on AusArt Day
Give Colour
The Australian Tapestry Workshop is an international leader in contemporary tapestry, collaborating with living artists to produce exceptional handwoven works. When you give to the Australian Tapestry Workshop, you’re not just donating— you’re empowering artists, preserving a centuries-old craft, and nurturing creativity for generations to come.
Give Colour is a Giving Day campaign as part of AusArt Day to support artists with time in the Dye Lab — an opportunity for colour experimentation in ATW’s specialist space and access to the expertise of our dye technicians.
Why it Matters
- Supports hands-on experimentation with colour and dye
- Gives artists access to specialist equipment and mentorship
- Enables creative risk-taking and innovation in textile art
Donate before Sunday October 26 to be a part of our Give Colour Campaign
What Your Gift Supports
We’re building time in the Dye Lab, hour by hour, day by day. Every contribution helps.
If we raise $15,000 we can help 10 artists receive substantial expertise to develop new colour led projects.
Your donation is secure and protected.
Hear from Artist Kayla Powers
International artist Kayla Powers shares how her time in the ATW Dye Lab transformed her practice.
“Without the Dye Lab, this part of my project just couldn’t have happened. Engaging with place by working with local plants to create a colour palette, this is the foundation of my practice. It would have been impossible for me to make this work without access to the Dye Lab.”
As a Thank You for Your Support
We’re so grateful for your generosity, to show our thanks, we’ve put together a few special surprises for our Give Colour donors. Each donation helps artists create, explore, and imagine new possibilities — thank you for helping make that happen.
Gifts of $100 or more
You’ll be entered to win a limited-edition pack of botanically dyed yarn, a vibrant reminder of the colour you’ve helped bring to life.
Gifts of $750 (1 day in the Dye Lab)
You’ll go in the draw to win a Tapestry Sample, created right here at ATW and valued at $300.
Gifts of $1,500 (2 days in the Dye Lab)
You could win a Private Weaving Play session for you and five friends — complete with refreshments, materials, and expert guidance at the loom.
Bring more colour, creativity, and possibility into the world
