Lowell Arts has partnered with the City of Lowell Downtown Development Authority to develop a public art initiative for our community. This summer, we're excited to launch the Community Assessment & Engagement phase, where we'll consult with various sectors of the community to identify meaningful locations and thematic priorities for public art in Lowell.

​

We're kicking off this planning phase with an interactive experience in our gallery space. "The Then and Now Project" invites you to:

​

• Learn about the organization's past public art endeavors and share your own stories of how you've interacted with art in our community

• Add your voice to a large-scale city map by marking locations where you envision public art and sharing your ideas about what themes and stories should be represented

• Join fellow community members in envisioning a more vibrant, culturally rich Lowell by examining inspiring examples from other communities

​

Your participation during these three weeks will directly inform the longer-term planning that will take place throughout the fall and winter, leading to future public art projects launching next summer.

​

Stop by and lend your voice! Every voice matters as we build this initiative together.​​​
