Honoring Pacific Textile Arts’ 30th Anniversary
WHEREAS, in spring of 1996, Jackie Wollenberg spear-headed an effort to buy an old Victorian house on Alger Street, which has become the Pacific Textile Arts campus; and WHEREAS, under the continued efforts of co-founder Lolli Jacobsen and numerous dedicated volunteers over the last three decades, this arts facility now offers a gallery with new exhibits each month, an extensive catalogued textile library, a major study collection of textiles, a tapestry weaving studio, and a large classroom for meetings, events, and workshops; and WHEREAS, Pacific Textile Arts is an all-volunteer educational nonprofit, existing to support, share, and celebrate the fiber arts through an ongoing program of classes, and a uniquely equipped open studio for work in all aspects of textile arts; and WHEREAS, the 30th anniversary of Pacific Textile Arts is a time to acknowledge its ongoing contribution to local arts education and culture here on the coast (including a celebration at PTA on Friday, June 5th); and NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jason Godeke, Mayor of the City of Fort Bragg, on behalf of the entire City Council, do hereby recognize and congratulate Pacific Textile Arts on the momentous occasion of its 30th anniversary, and extend our deep appreciation for its ongoing contributions to the Fort Bragg community.
