Thursday's program: Kristi Elyce on the Loveland sculpture show
Kristi Elyce will describe Loveland’s Sculpture in the Park celebration at the Rotary Club of Estes Park on Thursday, May 26, at their regular noon meeting.
Sculpture in the Park will be celebrating its 33rd anniversary this year in Loveland, Colorado, on the second weekend in August. It is the largest outdoor juried sculpture show in the United States. She will describe this amazing show that takes place in our own backyard. The Loveland High Plains Arts Council, a non-profit organization, hosts the show in order to support the Benson Sculpture Garden, a beautiful park in Loveland that displays over $5 million in sculpture.
Kristi Elyce has been involved with Sculpture in the Park as a volunteer for many years and is the Show Business Manager for the Loveland High Plains Arts Council. She lives in Estes Park and served as the President of the Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary Club in 2014-2015. Previously, she worked many years in human resources management, including eight years at Harmony Foundation.
