I am participating in the 26th annual Sculpture in the Park Sculpture Festival. It's held in Benson park which has an enormous permanent sculpture garden. I was juried into the show last January and have been preparing suitable pieces since that time. I am taking 14 pieces - the maximum allowed. The festival takes a percentage of sales to support the public arts project. I am told there are 170 artists in four huge tents. There are artists from all over the country. Many are bronze sculptors as there are several active foundries in Loveland but there are artists of all sculpture media types.
After set up, there are some artist seminars on marketing etc. Then there is a patron's party to which they invite people who have purchased lots in the past. The regular event is Saturday and Sunday.
