Madison Contemporary Fiber Artists (MCFA) is  a group of 30+ diverse fiber artists from the Madison and southern Wisconsin area who share a passion for creating original art from fiber. Originating in 1999 as a collective for fiber artists, the group continues to pursue its dual mission: to encourage artists’ growth and to promote fiber art as an art form. To foster the artistic growth of members, MCFA provides a forum to explore contemporary design and fiber manipulation techniques, offers advice about works-in-progress, and stimulates creativity.  The public part of our mission – to promote fiber as an art form – is accomplished primarily through group exhibitions and occasional public workshops.   

MCFA artists’ work currently includes art quilts, surface design, beading, paper making, thread painting, hand embroidery, weaving, contemporary dolls, wearable art, felting, hand stitching, fabric dyeing, and mixed fiber media.
