The Weaving Guilds of Oregon (WeGO) are excited to host the 2023 Association of Northwest Weavers’ Guilds (ANWG) Conference at the Riverhouse Convention Center and Hotel in Bend, Oregon, June 11-18, 2023.
We’ll use this website to provide information leading up to the conference, keeping you updated on how our plans are progressing, along with details about events, workshops, seminars, and other exciting aspects of the conference. The latest information can be found in our monthly blogs, and you can sign up to receive them via email.
You can learn about the conference theme, Fiber Connections, and how it celebrates the connections that are made as a result of the coming together of people and fibers. You can also read about the significance behind the conference colors, and how they have been chosen to represent the host state of Oregon and what it is that connects us to the other states and provinces of the Association of Northwest Weavers’ Guilds. Weave, felt, dye or spin something in conference colors before next June!
It is our hope that the information provided on this website will encourage you to make plans to attend this exciting conference. In addition to traditional events such as the ever-popular fashion show, spirited juried and open shows, wide-array of guild booth displays, lively market hall, and inspiring keynote address, we’ve also lined up unique events and amazing new shows.
As we move closer to summer 2023, we’ll rollout out more information about the conference and events on this website, so stay tuned!
