Here's
how it's done...
- Look through the
gallery of adoptable
kilims
- Select your special piece
-
Contact us by email
and arrange to donate the funds to wash and care for your
piece.
Together with
a receipt for your donation (tax-exempt, if you wish)
you'll
be sent a photo of your piece.
When your piece is done, you'll receive another photo so you can
see how you've made a difference.
When your piece is displayed in the museum, it will have a label
that says "Repair donated by
<your name>"
Half the kilims and bags available for
'adoption' have found sponsors: 24 via donations from individuals and 4
via donations from rug societies (the New England Rug Society, the
Seattle Textile and Rug Society, the Textile & Oriental Rug Club of
Houston, and the Rug Society of San Diego). Look through the remaining
pieces in the gallery and then...
Join the crowd!
