Community ArtShare
T. B. Scott Library’s Community ArtShare program originated in 2006 with a $10,000 grant from the Mead Witter Foundation, Inc. with which secure display cases, easels, and other items were procured that have enabled the library to become a place for local artists and collectors to display their creations and hobbies. Displays featuring one or more artists or collectors are featured each month on an ongoing basis.
Cultural Threads: Expressing Identity Through Traditional Clothing
September – October 2024
Mosaic of North Central Wisconsin presents: Cultural Threads: Expressing Identity Through Traditional Clothing. This travelling project uses local Textile Artists from different cultures, with significant knowledge of that culture, or with the help of someone from that culture, to create authentic traditional clothing displayed on dolls. This is meant to educate, experience, and celebrate cultures represented in Marathon County and the surrounding North Central Wisconsin region. Every culture has its own traditional clothing with meaning specific to that culture and helps pass along traditions, history, and values to future generations. Learn about our diverse cultures and celebrate our shared traditions.
T. B. Scott Free Library will host this travelling exhibit starting September 4th in the historic Carnegie Wing located on the second floor.
