Loveland is a Municipality in Larimer County, Colorado, United States. The city was founded in 1877 and in 2010 the population of the city was 66,859. There is a large population of artists in Loveland, which has drawn three foundries, an art museum, and the annual sculpture shows in August.
Loveland has just under 300 pieces of art in its public arts collection. The arts collection consists primarily of sculpture; however, the collection also includes murals and other flat work. Over 140 pieces of the city's sculpture can be found in Loveland's Benson Sculpture Garden. It has been a deliberate plan by the citizens of Loveland to create a vibrant arts town in this foothills community.
The artwork ranges from traditional sculptures, many with a western theme, to partial or full nudes to abstract. The collection is growing and there are pieces also outside of the park. There's an incorporated Children's Park featuring whimsy and subjects kids will enjoy. The garden is free and open sunrise to sunset and has an annual competition in August. The Sculpture in the Park show, hosted by the Loveland High Plains Arts Council, takes place annually and exhibits artwork from artists from the United States and the world. Currently in Benson Sculpture Garden there are 144 pieces of sculpture on permanent display.
