TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - When the COVID-19 pandemic and first lockdown hit, the board members of the Tucson Handweavers & Spinners Guild (THSG), one of the oldest continuously operating arts guilds in Southern Arizona, met to discuss how to respond to the challenges posed by the pandemic.
As a not-for-profit community organization, the guild board members knew that to suspend its vital programming might mean the end of the nearly 50-year-old organization. Face-to-face meetings, programs, workshops, outreach, show and sales events were all cancelled, putting a dent in the revenue the guild relied upon to survive.
