Loveland Art Studio Tour
Loveland Art Studio Tour
The signature event of Loveland Creative District, this non-profit event supports the artists of Loveland by giving them an opportunity to open their studios to the public to show off their unique talents and share their workspaces and wares with the public.
Learn about the artists' processes, what inspires them, and enjoy an opportunity to purchase art directly from the artists. Follow a self guided map or chart your own path as you visit friendly, engaging studios and galleries showcasing quality Northern Colorado art.
During two weekends in October, visit artists in their studios, pop-up studios, or galleries. Watch painters, potters, jewelers, sculptors, and multi-media artists create their beautiful works of art right before your eyes with live demos.
Maps will be available at the Loveland Museum in October 2025. A preview of participating artists will be on exhibition at the Loveland Museum for the month of October in the Foote Gallery in the Loveland Museum, with an artists' reception and fun events still to be announced.
