Mark your calendars! 🎉 The Longmont Museum's Grand Reopening is October 17 from 9 am–5 pm, and you're invited to celebrate this exciting new chapter.

As you explore the expanded museum, be sure to check out LOCUS AMOENUS by Elena Manferdini. This vibrant installation transforms the restroom walls with colorful botanicals and bold geometric patterns, proving that art can be found in every corner of the museum.

The free community celebration kicks off with a ribbon-cutting at 9 am and includes new galleries, DreamLab, special tours, hands-on activities, and fun for all ages. We can't wait to welcome you back!

Have you spotted the faces along the Lefthand Greenway?

"101 Faces" by Jerry Boyle has been surprising visitors since 2004, with concrete faces peeking out from the landscape between the Highway 287 bridges and Sunset Street. Part of the fun is discovering them as you explore the trail.

Originally, there were 101 faces. After the 2013 flood, many were swept away and never recovered, but the ones that remain continue to delight (or frighten) the curious passerby.

Next time you're on the greenway, let us know how many you can find.

Fall is in the air. Celebrate the season with Bugling Elk by Pavia Justinian. Perched majestically atop a massive stone, this life-sized sculpture is crafted from upcycled painted steel using vintage vehicle parts, including fenders, and salvaged scrap transformed into an unforgettable work of art.

Located at Fox Meadows Park, 636 Deerwood Drive, this Colorado inspired sculpture is a must see as the seasons begin to change.

As summer begins to wind down, take a little time to enjoy the outdoors and discover some of the art along the St. Vrain Bike Trail.

"The Lady and the Damsel" by Amanda Wilshire, created in 2019, features two playful bugs made entirely from recycled parts. They rest on salvaged tree stumps, much like Wilshire’s other AIPP sculpture, "Bike to Your Roots"

If you have not seen them yet, take a ride along the trail and see if you can spot these two colorful characters before summer comes to a close.

A simple word can carry a lot of meaning.

Located outside the Longmont Library, "WE" by Nikki Pike invites visitors to think about connection, belonging, and what it means to be part of a community.

The sculpture’s bold lettering pays tribute to Robert Indiana’s iconic LOVE sculpture and references the opening word of the Preamble to the United States Constitution. More than just a word, WE is a reminder that communities are built together.

Take a moment to visit this piece the next time you’re at the library.

Have you met the newest watchful neighbor at 4th & Main?

Perched atop a steel pedestal, "Crow" by Otis Gallagher brings a bold, geometric take on one of nature's most intelligent birds to downtown Longmont. Crafted from Corten steel, the sculpture will gradually develop a rich, weathered patina, changing over time alongside the character of its surroundings.

Next time you're exploring the public art along 4th Avenue, stop by and say hello.

As students return to school, we thought it fitting to highlight "First Teacher" by Ann La Rose, located behind the library on 4th and Emery.

This bronze sculpture was donated in memory of Nancy Nixon, whose contributions to Longmont’s cultural and educational community continue to be remembered. Installed in 2003, the piece honors her legacy and the important role educators and mentors play in shaping our community.

Wishing students, educators, and families a wonderful start to the school year.
