Galleries at the Textile Center

Galleries are free and open to the public when the Center is open. Self-guided tours are always free. If you have a bigger group, you can book a paid tour, which will include a teaching artist and a hands-on activity. Parking is available, but the Center is situated across the street from a METRO Green Line station. This is a great outing to combine with a train ride.
