Loveland one the 2008 Governor's Arts Award and was named the top place in Colorado for use of arts to "enhance the quality of life and economic vitality of the community." The award was actually bestowed upon our fair city in June, but the celebration is happening this month, September.
The Governor's Arts Award was bestowed from 1969-2002 upon artists and organizations and community leaders for their contributions. Dormant for a few years, it was reborn in 2007 with the new focus on the role of arts in community development.
A series of events will be taking place around the city. Many arts disciplines are featured in these events. This is fitting because Loveland being a big sculpture town is just one reason we were selected for the award.
If you have questions about the Governor's Arts Award, contact Elaine Mariner, 303.892.3802, elaine.mariner@state.co.us, or click here to read the press release, available at the State website.
This Saturday, Sept. 6 starts the celebration when a new sculpture "Whirl*Pool" will be dedicated at Loveland's new Fairgrounds Park beginning at 10:45am. Other events occur winding up with a tour of the Chapungu Sculpture Park on Sat. Sept. 20 at 1:45.
