The Loveland Historic Museum/Gallery, located in the heart of downtown, is a center for arts events, educational programs and exhibitions featuring regional, national and internationally recognized artists. The museum also includes permanent and changing history exhibits, which illuminate the natural and social history of the Big Thompson Valley.

Cultural arts are apparent in Loveland with many musical organizations including bands and orchestras, choral groups, a community theater, and two dance centers. During the summer months, free concerts are offered at three outdoor venues. Loveland artists thrive on their community's support and the community thrives on its art.

Several large events occur during the summer months - the 4th of July festival, Sculpture in the Park and the Sculpture Invitational, Art in the Park, the Larimer County Fair, and the Corn Roast Festival - bringing the community together.
