The Loveland Sculpture Invitational Show & Sale 
began 12 years ago 
when several local artists gathered
with two goals in mind.

Their desire was
to expand opportunities
for sculptors
to display and sell their work 
while at the same time giving back
to the community 
through public sculpture donations 
and enriching 
our area school's art education 
experience through monetary donations.

Over the past 12 years 
more than 28 sculptures 
have been purchased,
with 24 currently donated 
and placed throughout 
the City of Loveland
for public display and enjoyment.

The McKee Foundation 
has also been pleased
to receive two pieces 
from the Loveland Sculpture Group, 
which were placed 
by the Oncology Wing 
and along the Wellness Walk.

The Thompson Valley School District 
and several privately run schools 
have reaped the benefits 
of this extremely successful show 
through over $160,000 donated
for art education needs.

Please come see some 
of these students in action at our
'Emerging Artist' tent.

The public is invited
to try their hand at sculpting
with the assistance 
of our student artists! 

New and existing collectors 
always look forward
to the bargains they find 
during our Silent Auction 
held Saturday and Sunday.

Many of the proceeds 
from this fun activity 
go the New Friendship Club of Loveland,
our key volunteer organization,
to provide shoes
for needy children.

We are happy
to have you here
to visit the 325 premier quality sculptors 
at our show.

Since the
'Invitational'
charges a flat fee per sculptor,
no commission is involved.

The artists are free
to negotiate prices
with you,
their buyer.

Please wander freely 
among our sculpture garden 
and delight in the variety 
of styles and medium available.

And Thank You so much far 
your continued support! 


Sculpture in the Park 2003 
Celebrating 20 Years! ... 

The Loveland High Plains Arts Council
(LHPAC),
a private non-profit organization,
was founded in 1984
for the purpose 
of promoting sculptural arts
for the cultural 
and economic benefit 
of the entire community.

The organization 
is comprised of a Board of Directors 
and hundreds of extraordinary 
community volunteers.

The main focus of LHPAC continues
to be the organization 
and sponsorship 
of the annual Sculpture 
in the Park show.

This impressive annual exhibit 
employs a jury of talented sculptors
to review the work 
of each participating artist.

The process insures 
a uniformly high quality 
of work and produces a pleasing diversity 
of art styles.

Proceeds generated from the show go 
towards the purchase of sculpture
for Benson Sculpture Garden 
as well as toward the funding 
of park improvements and landscaping.

To date,
over 90 pieces 
of sculpture valued 
at over $2.8 million 
grace the grounds of Benson Park.

This year,
Sculpture in the Park 
is celebrating it's 20' Anniversary 
and a number of special events 
have been planned
for the occasion,
including a special exhibit entitled
"Take Home A Piece of the Park".

This unique collection 
features macquette-sized versions 
of fifty of the pieces 
of sculpture that are on permanent display 
in Benson Sculpture Garden.

They will be available
for sale
for the first time 
at Sculpture in the Park 2003.


Welcome to our 20" Anniversary show!
