In the 1960s, Kester established the textile program at Cal State Fullerton. While there he curated this 1968 group show of hand woven, knitted and other textile work. The show proved the impetus for his groundbreaking 1971 show at UCLA's Wight Gallery, “Deliberate Entanglements". The two shows proved seminal in the history of contemporary American fiber art. This copy of the exhibition program was owned by Seattle arts-patron Anne Gould Hauberg, and has a note in her hand indicating "my collection". Hauberg's work by Lenore Tawney, titled "Egyptian," was featured in the show.
