Yes. Fashion on Main opened in September 2006. The gallery is located on the first floor of the UCD building at 1901 Main St. in Dallas. Hours are Thursdays and Fridays from 12-5pm.
2. What if I want to see the collection in storage?
Please call or make an appointment at least one month in advance. It takes about one hour to show around a small group of 4-6 people. Parking is available at the NT visitor garage and the UNT Union is next door if you want to have lunch on campus.
3. What about bringing a group to see the TFC in storage?
We often host student groups, but request that this appointment to be set up two months in advance. Times have to work with scheduled classes in the resource room. The capacity is 40 and the tour will be split into two groups. It takes 1/2 to 2 hours to host a large group. There is no charge for
student groups.
For a basic tour of a non-student group, a $5 per person charge is requested. This fee is a donation to a fund that supports the conservation and storage of the TFC. Other groups, such as the Embroiderers Guild of America, often request tours based on special interests.

Photography is permitted as long it is for personal use and not to be published in any format. See copyright.
