“Weaving Connections,” an exhibit organized by Amy Schmierbach, professor of art and design at Fort Hays State University, will be on display at the Hays Public Library from April 2 to April 30. The exhibit was created by more than 700 community members who made CD weavings.

In CD weaving, yarn is woven around the CDs or DVDs.

The exhibit will also be a part of the Annual Spring Gallery Walk from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, April 28.

The public is invited to two workshops where they can create their own CD weavings, from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, April 17, and from 5 to 8 pm. Monday, April 24, in the Hays Public Library Gallery.
