The Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke is pleased to host this major retrospective exhibition produced by the Musée des métiers d’art du Québec.

The exhibition covers 45 years of the work of artist and tapestry weaver Paulette-Marie Sauvé’s, primarily tapestries representative of different periods of her career. As the curator of the exhibition, Françoise Cloutier, remarks, Paulette-Marie Sauvé established herself as one of the leading figures in new Quebec tapestry as early as 1978, mastering bygone weaving techniques with a remarkable contemporary approach.
