Agnes Nyanhongo Coming to Loveland Colorado


My friend, the wonderful Zimbabwean sculptor, Agnes Nyanhongo will be coming to Loveland,Colorado this July. Agnes will be participating in the Sculpture in the Park show August 11 & 12. Agnes' work is so beautiful. The peaceful expressions she achieves and the appearance of softness is exquisite out of this hard medium. If you haven't seen her work, stop by the show and say hello!

If You Haven't Been to the Show Lately--

If you have never been to the sculpture shows in Loveland, or if it has been a while since your last visit, you definitely to make this a priority!

I have been coming to these shows for years and the changes have been phenomenal! The variety in styles, media, scale is incredible. Whether your preference in sculpture is traditional or modern, realistic or abstract, figurative or animals, simple or complex, natural materials or hi tech--you can see it all in one place, over one weekend!

There are actually two separate shows and each has an entry fee of only $5. If you LOVE sculpture, plan to attend both. You will want to allocate a full day for each show!

Sculpture In The Park is, as the name indicates, in a beautiful park: Benson Sculpture Park. The Invitational is across the street on the grounds of Loveland High School. There are great free shuttles from lots of places in town, so don't worry too much about parking.

Some of my friends are exhibiting at Sculpture in the Park and others of us are at the Invitational...come see us all.
