You don’t have to venture into Downtown Denver to enjoy the arts. Longmont, Colorado is home to a plethora of cultural creations. Whether you want to spend a night at the theater, take in a local exhibit, or dig into local history, our arts-focused town provides plenty of opportunities. Consider exploring the following:
The Dougherty Museum is the go-to place for anyone who appreciates the artistry of automobiles - it houses a collection of restored antique cars. Some of the automobiles featured include those powered by steam, electricity, or early combustion engines. Most of the cars are running, even though they’re over 100 years old.
The Longmont Museum is a community-based museum that features various exhibits. It’s currently showcasing an exhibit of 19th-century Western photographers: Picturing the West: Masterworks of American Landscape Photography (through May 5th). In addition to exhibits, the museum hosts summer camps, arts and crafts events, teen-centric gatherings, Lego build nights, and art and sip parties.
The Longmont Theatre offers a chance for actors and actresses to try out for plays, as well as ample opportunity for young ones to participate in youth theater. For those who prefer to sit in the seats rather than stand on the stage, the theater is home to a variety of well-known plays and musicals. In May, the spotlight shines on Fiddler on the Roof.
Jester’s Dinner Theater is a staple of the art scene, offering dinner theater, comedy shows, and classes (for both adults and children). A few of the upcoming shows include The Odd Couple (the female version) and Seussical. The classes are scheduled to focus on plays that include Moana, The Lion King, Robin Hood, and The Hobbit.
The Firehouse Art Center is the creative hub of town. It offers classes, events, and get-togethers. It’s also well known for its exhibits, attracting both art lovers as well as artmakers. If you fall in the latter category, you can join the center as an artist and have a chance to show your creations.
Whether you’re a cultural connoisseur or you’re simply looking to expand your horizons, Longmont brings a lot to the table. Check out a museum, swing by a gallery, or enjoy a show and fall in love with the arts over and over again.
