BATEMAN WEAVES EXHIBIT
MONTANA MUSEUM OF ART & CULTURE
(MMAC on the University of Montana Campus)
May 8th - September, 2026 ​

​“Dr. Bateman’s weaving samples demonstrate how an ancient technology can continue to inspire innovation. Long lost to dark basements, these samples are again seeing the light of day and becoming available to weavers and designers thanks to the MMAC and digital technology."

Members of the Missoula Weavers Guild have worked with MMAC to create this exhibit.
