The International Costumers’ Guild supports Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as a way for members with a common interest in a particular aspect or genre of costuming to pursue their interest and share information, without regard to the geographical location of their members. SIGs can have their own websites and use other social media to communicate and exchange ideas.
ICG Members can belong to any number of SIGs. If you are interested in joining, contact the SIG or visit their website or other social media site for membership information.
If you have an interest in a particular aspect or genre of costuming, and have at least five other ICG members who are also interested, why not start your own SIG? The details and requirements for doing so are located on the Starting a New Special Interest Group page.
