The Weavers Guild of Kalamazoo began in 1959 when participating in a clothesline art show in Kalamazoo. Their official founding was in 1968, with its first regular meeting held in the Kalamazoo Public Museum. The guild was founded by 18 people who shared common interest in the weaving craft. Besides having meetings, exhibitions, and holding workshops, the guild also holds events where members can sell their work, like their annual Christmas sale. Aside from handicrafts like ponchos, bags, mats and the like, yarn and weaving equipment were also offered. Members would also often demonstrate weaving at sale and art events, with their work hanging up nearby. Members met once a month on the second Monday, except for June, July, August, and January at 7pm at the Kalamazoo Public Museum. Members are expected to contribute a fee each year to fund events and other organization purchases, since the Weavers Guild is a nonprofit organization. Currently, the guild holds meetings at the Portage United Church of Christ.
