The 35th annual Governor’s Art Show has returned to the Loveland Museum, showcasing a juried selection of fine art from across Colorado. This year’s exhibition features approximately 60 artists, including 10 first-time participants, selected through a competitive blind jury process. The show includes a diverse range of media, from Lorri Acott’s life-size bronze animal sculptures to Jane DeDecker’s new works blending bronze with fused glass, and Faye Crowe’s Western-influenced abstract paintings.
As one of Colorado’s most prestigious regional exhibitions, the show serves as a vital platform for local artists and a significant cultural event for the community. This edition is particularly notable for its milestone 35th anniversary and its alignment with the state's 150th anniversary. The introduction of the Governor’s Legacy Award, selected by Governor Jared Polis, underscores the state's commitment to integrating the visual arts into Colorado’s historical narrative and supporting the local creative economy.
