Hambidge Center Event at Atlanta Showroom

Hambidge Hootin-N' Anny
VIP Kick-Off Party

The Hambidge Center was created by professional whistler and weaver, Mary Hambidge, who believed that creativity is best nurtured through working closely with nature. She established the Hambidge retreat and sustainable farm in 1934 in memory of her artist husband Jay Hambidge. Employing local women to spin and weave, she encouraged them to perfect their craft and find pride in the goods they produced. This resulted in exceptional quality weavings that were highlighted in many exhibits including the Smithsonian and MOMA. Later she broadened the scope of the Center inviting artists for extended stays. After her death in 1973, the Center evolved into a formalized and competitive residency program, open to individuals working in the arts and sciences.
