Seven WeaversFor more than 40 years, Bozeman Weavers' Guild has been dedicated to furthering understanding and improvement of the textile arts in our community. Now, the members bring their art form to the Bozeman Public Library Atrium Gallery with an exquisite show December through January, just in time for the cold weather and holiday gifts. A portion of all sales goes to the Foundation in direct support of the Library and programs. The weavers are: Vicki Scharen who recycles old blue jeans and other garments into sturdy, colorful rag rugs; Barbara McMullen uses traditional patterns for her rugs and towels; Carol Roehm finds inspiration in transforming new yarns and old clothes into artistic, usable hangings and other works; Nancy Liebrecht enjoys using milkweed fiber; Kay Hatthorn explores wool fibers with her whimsical creations; Karin Utzinger combines color for her functional pieces of art; and Barbara French finds expression in knitting, weaving, and felting.
The Bozeman Sculpture Park has a goal to create an outdoor sculpture park that engages Bozeman residents and visitors with the work of leading sculptors in a lovely natural setting, and promotes Bozeman’s cultural profile in the northwestern region of the United States.
