About
Art in Public Places
A community’s greatest gift is the evolving history of its people, their stories, their symbols, their enduring traditions. This community’s history is cast in bronze, in the brilliant pigments, in images on film, in subtle fibers. The people of Loveland have enthusiastically embraced the arts and skillfully woven them into their daily lives, truly making Loveland A Work of Art.

2026-2027 TAAP 2D (Two-Dimensional Media)
Collaboration with the Loveland Poet Laureate Committee and Loveland Public Library.
Loveland Art in Public Places has announced the new artist selections for The Art Advocacy project, commonly known as TAAP 2D. The selected artwork is showcased in the Loveland Public Library’s Central Galleria and will be on display through February 2027.
The City has partnered with the Loveland Poet Laureate Program to create an interactive poetry element for the annual display. Local poets will write and display poems inspired by the works of art on exhibit.
Organizers believe the addition of poetry to this artwork display adds a wonderful component to this annual exhibit. Images and words combine, each enhancing the other.
The Art Advocacy Project is a one-year on-loan program designed to promote regional artists through the public display of their artworks as well as provide a means for artwork sales.
