ATASDA's Constitution was updated in 2007 to allow the formation of State Branches and groups.

State Branches organise meetings, workshops, exhibitions and more. There are currently two branches, Queensland and New South Wales.

Groups are five or more members of ATASDA with shared interests - the same geographic area, or a particular textile technique, or a desire for a focused critique group... ATASDA can provide advice, assistance and support services (such as insurance cover, space on the website, planning lists for running meetings or curating etc), but it is up to the group members to plan and run their activities.

If you are interested in forming a group, contact one of your committee members to discuss your ideas. Groups fit under State Branches in our structure, depending on the location of the members. If there is no State Branch, then National can assist.
