2024 was our BIG Year of celebration to commemorate 50 years of ATASDA

The Collaborative Golden Cape

One garment representing 50 years of creativity in textile arts.
Members of ATASDA joined together to create a beautiful cape comprising of 50 art panels inspired by 50 past ATASDA artworks. Each contribution to the Cape was a personal response to its corresponding historic artwork and its story. The Golden Cape, embellished with these beautiful cameos of textile art and surface design is travelling and is being displayed throughout Australia.

Follow some of the stories of these art works at Wilma’s blog https://empresswu.blogspot.com/search/label/50thanniversary
