TESTIMONIALS

Voices of Interwoven

Stories that breathe life into our runway:

"Love that tingly feeling when creative juices start to flow at the beginning of a new project and ideas are flashing through your brain at light speed, finally slowing down as a concrete idea begins to take shape. What starts of as a hazy outline morphs into something more defined, then, slowly, what was a mere wisp is now something 3 dimensional. Construction begins and continues through final touches until, what was a mere whisper in your imagination, is in front of you, complete. LOVE IT! Pendleton is so supportive of their "Makers"! Wouldn't do it anywhere else!"
Linda Bevington
Pendleton designer
"Photographing Pendleton has been important to me from the very first time I experienced it, and it’s only grown more meaningful each year. The deeper I go, the more I find myself focused on the details — the people, the history, the buildings, and the traditions that make Round-Up and the town itself what it is, from the underground tours to the layers of culture woven into every corner.""
Alexis Cady
Photographer
Art doesn't exist in isolation--it thrives in community. Interwoven is a gathering point where cultures connect and creativity shapes belonging. What you experience here is alive and impossible without people.
Elena Martinez
Cultural arts director
Western fashion comes from a life spent outside, around horses, and in clothes that have to work as hard as I do.
