Join us for a unique artistic experience at the Loveland Museum, featuring two captivating exhibitions: **Rosetta: Animal Artistry - A 40-Year Journey** and **Clay Prints by Chris Wanner**, along with the concurrent exhibit **100 Years of Power**. Running from June 27 through September 20 for Rosetta and June 13 to October 11 for Wanner's work, these exhibitions showcase the rich tapestry of artistic vision and local history.
Rosetta’s sculptures, inspired by her lifelong love of animals, beautifully capture the grace, power, and spirit of wildlife through a unique blend of abstraction and representation. With a career that has taken her from local bronze foundries to international acclaim, Rosetta’s minimalistic approach and powerful lines reflect a deep respect for her subjects.
In contrast, Chris Wanner’s **Clay Prints** merge 2D and 3D media, drawing from storytelling and comic artistry to create a narrative through his pottery, drawings, and figurative sculptures. His expressive work invites viewers to engage with art on multiple levels.
Simultaneously, **100 Years of Power** celebrates a century of electricity in Loveland, highlighting the evolution of energy sources while underscoring the community’s commitment to sustainability. This multimedia exhibit complements the artistic showcases by providing historical context.
Additionally, don’t miss **Gary Emrich: Firewater Suite**, which critically contrasts vintage liquor decanters with modern water bottle labels, adding a humorous layer to the narrative.
Together, these exhibitions offer a thought-provoking blend of local heritage, artistic expression, and cultural commentary, inviting audiences to explore and reflect on both historical and contemporary narratives. Special events include a poetry reading, guided tours, and a Wild Animal Sanctuary program, enhancing the immersive experience of these artistic journeys.
