Infrastructure supporting the recognition and development of fiber arts has increased over the 20th century. Fiber arts study groups have proven to be particularly important in this regard. Two groups of note include: 1) the Textiles Study Group located in the U.K.; and 2) the Textile Study Group of New York. Members associated with both groups have made significant contributions to the field as artists, teachers, and authors.

https://textilestudygroup.co.uk/ -established 1973, began with a focus on embroidery and expanded to a wider focus on the fiber arts, particularly the delivery of education, membership is highly selective, requiring close scrutiny of each applicants work; maintains a core group of about 25 teachers

https://www.tsgny.org/ has a broader mission of promotion of appreciation of fiber arts and support of artists working in this area;  established in 1977; meets monthly during the academic year in the NYC area; broader interest in serving to inspire artists and afficionados and to support networks that will build fiber arts opportunities.
