Canopy Oaks, Embroiderers' Guild of America (EGA): Original Art and Fine Craft intends to showcase and educate anyone who views the pieces about the art and craft of embroidery, alongside celebrating its heritage and use in the community. According to Pam Doffek, a chapter member, EGA is "deeply dedicated to the study, preservation, and promotion of needle arts... Like any other artwork, it needs to be shown and shared, eliciting all the feelings and emotions of any art, 2-D, or 3-D."

EGA is a nonprofit organization that was formed in 1958 as a branch to the organization Embroiderers' Guild of London. It withdrew and became its own organization in 1970. EGA's mission is to inspire passion for needlework and other similar arts via cooperating and sharing ideas with like-minded individuals by promoting a high standard of embroidery techniques and designs. Each chapter is dedicated to using embroidery to benefit their communities. EGA holds a juried exhibit called Through the Needle's Eye annually in its headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky. Members of EGA are able to submit their own works to be displayed in this showcase.
