Poetry Response to Creative Confluence Exhibit; Presented by Loveland Poet Laureate Program Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, 5:30 p.m. Abstract art is a form of creative expression that emphasizes emotion, movement, color, shape, and ideas rather than depicting recognizable people, landscapes, or objects. Emerging in Europe in the early 20th century, abstract art gained prominence in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s, as artists responded to a rapidly changing postwar world by exploring new ways of seeing and expressing experience. A common response to abstract art is, “I don’t understand it.” Yet abstract works are not necessarily meant to be solved or decoded. Instead, they invite personal reflection. As you look, consider questions such as: Where does your eye go first? What emotions does the work evoke? Does it remind you of a place, memory, or experience? Does it feel orderly or chaotic, energetic or serene? Inspired by these questions, the Loveland Poet Laureate group will present original poetry in response to the exhibition Confluence: Colorado Abstract Artists from the 1960s-1980s. Join them in the gallery for a poetry reading that explores the emotions and ideas inspired by the artwork, and discover how their interpretations may resonate with-or differ from-your own.

Creative Confluence Game Night with the Curators

Presented by Mosaic

Saturday, Nov. 21, 2026, 4:30-6 p.m.

Cost: Free to Register | Advance registration required

Museum membership is not required. Join curator Rose Fredrick and collector Rob Lewis for an entertaining evening exploring the art of Creative Confluence. Play a game Rose calls “Hey, Rob!” and discover the stories behind Colorado’s abstract artists. Rose explains:

“While working on this show, I had to constantly Google things about the era and the artists-unless Rob was around. Then I just prompted him with a ‘Hey, Rob!’ query. The amazing thing: he’s more accurate than online searches because he’s been seeking out obscure records of these artists for decades.”

Learn how Colorado artists challenged traditional approaches to art and developed new ways to express their ideas through painting and printmaking. Explore the influence of Colorado’s landscapes, diverse cultures and influential artists and mentors, including Herbert Bayer and Vance Kirkland. Bring a question or two and join Rose and Rob for an interactive evening of art, history, and discovery! Interested in becoming a Museum member?

Then and Now of HIP Streets

Presented by Shelley Aschenbrenner, Sean Hawkins, and the Historic Preservation Commission

Friday, Jan. 8, 2027, 5:30-7 p.m.

The Heart Improvement Plan (HIP Streets) is a long‑term City of Loveland and Loveland Downtown District initiative focused on revitalizing the historic core of downtown. Originally developed in 2009 and modernized in 2017, the current phase centers on improvements to the five blocks of 4th Street within the historic downtown core. Construction began in February 2025 and is anticipated to conclude by the end of 2026. This phase of the project integrates comprehensive streetscape upgrades, from pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and landscaping to efficient drainage and replacement of aging underground utilities. Together, these improvements aim to create a more attractive, functional, and resilient downtown environment while reducing the likelihood of future disruptions. During construction, crews uncovered a variety of small everyday objects and engineering artifacts preserved beneath 4th Street. These finds offer a glimpse into past eras of downtown life and reveal how even ordinary items can carry meaningful stories. Join City of Loveland engineer and project manager Shelley Aschenbrenner, Loveland Downtown District executive director Sean Hawkins, and members of the Historic Preservation Commission as they explore the project’s origins, its progress to date, and the renewed vitality taking shape along this historic corridor. Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn about the items unearthed during construction and the stories they help illuminate.
