Loveland, Colorado is abuzz this week with art, artists, and art lovers from around the world!
The world's largest sculpture shows are happening next weekend and the prep has been going on all year. Now, things are at a fevered pitch as people arrive and last minute details are ironed out.
The Loveland Sculpture Invitational and Sculpture in the Park are two separate shows. Each show houses incredible artists from around the world, displaying work of all sizes, media and styles. It is the ideal place to learn about sculpture, find wonderful pieces for the new collector and for experienced collectors to find new artists and reconnect with old favorites thereby expanding their collections.
I suggest planning on two days, one for each show. That allows time to not just walk the many tents, but also gives you time to actually talk to the artists.
One of the best parts of the shows is meeting the creators and learning about their inspirations, their lives, making new friends. Most of us really enjoy talking to people who love our art--and those who are just curious. Don't be shy or feel like we only want to talk to you if you buy our work. I, for one, am honored and pleased to share my work and philosophy, so please say hi!
That being said, realize that many artists are shy by nature. More comfortable in the studio than on the "sales floor" they may seem aloof. Don't let that deter you. Generally a warm smile is all it takes to break the ice! And we all love to hear that you like our work!
Artists of all medias come to this show. In addition to the exhibiting sculptors, you will find other artists who come to get inspiration or who love learning what other artists are up to. The energy in Loveland this time of year is incredible, so come just to get a Rocky Mountain High from all the positive vibes flying around!
