Join us on Wednesday, September 30 from 5 to 6 pm as we hold a reception for the Great Falls Public Library Staff artist and the Montana250 Montana Tapestry Project installation up at the Library through October. The reception is free and open to the public!

Montana Tapestry is a five-panel pop-up banner exhibit that introduces eight Montanans who have made significant contributions to the state and nation since 1776. Guided by the Dakota phrase Mitakuye Oyasin — “all my relations” — the exhibit invites viewers to consider how they are connected to Montana and the United States across past, present, and future. The Montanans featured include immunologist Maurice Hilleman, doctor and collector Caroline McGill, historic figures Pretty Shield and Granville Stuart, veteran and Indigenous leader Gilbert Horn Sr., librarian Alma Smith Jacobs, author Ivan Doig, and actor Lily Gladstone.
