Partner With Us
LMRM is run by and for a diverse group of artists, in a medium famously hard to access. For artists to flourish both creatively and financially, we need to run on sustainable practices for labor and access.
We invite you to support the transformation of how we gather, make, and define access in the textile community by becoming a financial partner of LMRM. You can have an active hand in building a more interconnected and cross-pollinating Chicago creative community.
LMRM is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purposes of LMRM must be made payable to “Fractured Atlas” only and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Visiting Artist
Workshop Seat
LMRM invites teaching artists to craft workshops and design experimental warps, inviting artists from all over the country with wide-ranging practices to teach advanced topics on digital weaving.
Your generous donation is equivalent to the cost of one seat, which includes attendance to a weekend of workshops and LMRM open weaving time. This support emphasizes the importance of pairing continued education with experimentation.

Yarns for One Warp Cycle
In 2025, LMRM put on 124 yards for six unique warp cycles between our 2W and 4W TC2 looms. That’s a total of 352,000 yards of material we warped last year, or 200 miles altogether!
Support at this level provides enough standard warp material for one warp cycle.
Thank you!
$800
Workshop Artist Honorarium
We only run a program if we can offer competitive pay for the artists who lead it. In 2026, we increased our honorariums to $800 for each workshop. LMRM always pays these honorariums upfront in exchange for the teaching artists' time, creative input, and expertise in crafting each workshop and warp design. Eventually we hope to increase our travel stipends so we can welcome more artists from out of town.
This funding level not only supports our programs, but models what financial equity in the arts can look like.
