EARTH DAY ART SUPPLY SWAP AT @senategarage on 4/22!!!! our next collab with @connect.hv (craft HV) looks a little different. ever since we started taking craft donations, we realized a couple things: we all thrift clothes, why can’t we thrift more art supplies? we learned how many art supplies are circulating around and lingering in people’s basements from taking donations. most of them are like new. we realized how freeing it is to let things go and live a new life with someone else, how satisfying it is to exchange, and that it’s a great way to meet fellow crafters!!

The Hudson Valley Textile Project

9th ANNUAL SUMMIT

Tickets are now available for HVTP’s 9th Annual Summit on April 22, 2026.

The registration deadline is April 10, 2026.

The preliminary agenda includes an exciting presentation by our keynote speaker, Antoinette Klatzky, Vice President of Programs and Partnerships, Eileen Fisher Foundation, titled “The Future of Clothing: Regenerative by Design.”

Antoinette has spent over 15 years developing programs at the intersection of environmental sustainability, supply chain innovation, and community empowerment. She helped establish the early phases of Eileen Fisher Renew, keeping clothing out of landfills, and has led initiatives improving human rights in supply chain communities. As host of Women Together and a moderator for the Foundation's Regenerative By Design Summit, Antoinette facilitates dialogue around systems change and regenerative practices in the textile and fashion industries.

HVTP’s 9th Annual Summit is open to non-members and it's an exciting opportunity to meet Northeast fiber business owners in person and learn about our local fiber movement.

We are analyzing new opportunities for reuse and recycling-based businesses, and for increasing coordinated waste diversion by working with a wider network of businesses and organizations. This project directly supports the launch of the ReP0WER Project Reuse Innovation Center and lays groundwork for regional action.

On October 14, Microsoft is ending free support for Windows 10. This decision lead to an enormous increase in electronic waste. As a result, this year's International Day of Repair which takes place on October 18th focuses on this issue. The Open Repair Alliance, an international group of repair advocate organizations including Repair Cafe International, is helping community groups around the world save laptops from landfill by either keeping them running on Windows 10 or helping upgrading them to a Linux operating system. This international group effort will then collect data to show just how large scale this movement can be when working together to save electronics from premature obsolescence.

On October 18th, there are many repair cafes taking place throughout the Hudson Valley - find the one nearest to you on the list below:
