Every year in late summer, Benson Sculpture Garden in Loveland, Colorado, is transformed when thousands of sculptures join its permanent collection for the Loveland High Plains Arts Council's Sculpture in the Park Show and Sale. From August 11 through 13, the event, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year, is celebrating its 39th year.
Although in the beginning, Sculpture in the Park saw mostly bronze sculptures from local artists created in a traditional style, the event has expanded to include a diverse range of styles, mediums and artists from around the country and world. Selected by a blind jury, the 162 artists in the 2023 show, will together present more than 2,000 pieces of sculpture in bronze, glass, wood, ceramic, stone, mixed media and more. Styles will range from representational to abstract, and in size from miniature to monumental..
"I think we're going to see some exceptional work this year," says Donna Visocky, executive director of the Loveland High Plains Arts Council. "We have several well-known sculptors participating in the show for the first time. I'm excited to see this diverse display of new work among the beauty of the Benson Sculpture Garden permanent collection this August."

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
Monster Mash
Vampires, witches, ghouls and all things that go bump in the night are the theme of the exhibition Monster Mash, now at Abend Gallery.
Inside/Outside

Bold Figures; Bold Color
For Brooklyn based painter J Louis, it’s all about balance, which can mean many different things in a composition, but for Louis, it’s about balancing his female figures among a unique landscape of color.
