Embracing the Arts
Lowell is the cultural heart of the Merrimack Valley. It’s a city that celebrates its history and historic landscapes, its diverse communities, culture and the arts—indeed, our motto is “Art Is The Handmaid of Human Good.”
Public Art Application
The city approves unique, artistic public art to enliven the community, create a sense of place and help promote local businesses.
Artist Opportunities
Public art plays a key role in creating some of Lowell’s public spaces, revitalizing neighborhoods, and connecting communities. The Office of Cultural Affairs and Special Events in coordination with the Cultural Organization of Lowell oversees a wide variety of temporary and permanent public art projects throughout the city.
