Most people don’t think about the science behind their clothes until a red shirt turns a whole load of laundry pink, or a new pair of jeans leaves a blue stain on a white sofa.

That’s where we come in. The AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) is a 105-year-old non-profit that sets the international standards for how textiles are tested, dyed, and classified. From “Quick Dry” ratings to antimicrobial safety, we are the reason the products on our local shelves perform the way they’re supposed to. We’d love to invite the community to see the more “artful” side of our industry. On April 10, 2026, the Ozarks Section is hosting a special event:

  • 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM: Meet & Greet with appetizers and drinks at Table on 6th.
    • Table on 6th, 409 SE 6th St, Bentonville, AR 72712
  • Followed By : A group visit to Crystal Bridges to view the new exhibit, America 250: Common Threads.
    • Crystal Bridges Museum of Art, 600 Museum Way, Bentonville, AR 72712
