Visit “agriCULTURE” exhibit over holidays
The Longmont Museum is a great place to bring your family and out-of-town guests over the holidays! The current “agriCULTURE: Art Inspired by the Land,” exhibit pairs local and national artists with farmers throughout Boulder County to create new, large-scale visual works. The exhibit draws on the expertise of farmers and the inspiration of nature and invites visitors to examine their own connections to the land and natural world. Experience large-scale sculptures, ceramics, photo weaving and other art forms that explore how farming is connected to issues such as climate change, water rights, ancestral lands, local history and environmental impacts.
