BECOME A MEMBER

The Network works in the spirit of solidarity. It is based on the interest of its members in establishing working contacts and actively taking part in an international exchange of information. All institutions, groups, non-corporate entities and individuals worldwide who have an interest in textiles are welcome as members.

ETN offers its members the following services:

> Information

As ETN member you will be updated with topical news and will have access to classified information on our website. In the home section of our website we publish relevant news on a day to day basis. Whilst some news we may share with all visitors of our website, other information is accessible by members only.
You will also have exclusive access to our database with important addresses of institutions and individuals in the field of textile culture in art, design, craft and cultural heritage, education etc.
Another exclusive feature is the calendar. Here you will be able to see all textile relevant events etc. set up in a timeline format.
The textile routes are yet another exclusive feature available to members only.

> Networking

Join the ETN community! Through our website you can get in contact with every other ETN member in more than 50 countries.

In our exclusive platform section, members may present themselves, their workshop or institution, their work … in word and picture not only to ETN members but to all visitors of our website. In our special bulletin board, members may advertise special sales, meetings, lost and found, job advertisements…

> ETN conferences and activities

The Network organizes biannual meetings which take place in different countries. The conferences have become important opportunities for those interested in textile culture to meet. Members have reduced fees on ETN conferences. Institutional members are entitled to sending two people to an ETN conference at reduced fees. Only ETN members are allowed to give lectures at the conferences’ network sessions. Ordinary General Assemblies will be held at each ETN conference. Each member has the right to vote at the General Assembly. Institutional members may name two members with a vote each at the General Assembly.
