About this Event

The Fine Arts Society of Peoria is offering a presentation by Tara Ritacco, Textile Professional and Mixed Media Artist.

Ritacco has worked extensively in the garment industry in Southern California, including sourcing and developing custom textiles for the Walt Disney Company. As a product developer for sportswear companies, she made conscious decisions about sustainable products. She leads workshops in dyeing and printing textiles and encourages others to participate in learning new techniques and skills. Her wearable art and art quilts have been exhibited throughout the United States.
