Founded in 1977, The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) has a long history of collaborating with artists to produce limited edition artworks. During these collaborations, FWM fully supports the development and production of these editions, and the resulting inventory is divided between the artists and the Museum Shop. The editions allocated to FWM are made available for purchase in-store and online to help raise essential funds and support future projects.  
 
This exhibition brings together a small selection of the artist multiples realized over the decades. In 2020, with the generous support of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, FWM formalized this program as Shopworks.
