Background
San Jose's Tapestry in Talent began with its first arts festival in 1976 as part of the country's bicentennial celebration,
and continued annually with the Tapestry Arts Festival each Labor Day Weekend. The festival was a three-day celebration of
the visual and performing arts held on the streets of downtown San Jose. Revenue from the festival provided seed money to
bring arts outreach to neighborhoods, and arts education to local schools. The festival was for many years the City's largest
fundraising event for arts education.
