Artist: Matt G Draws Things
Date Installed: October 2023
Cuddly and colorful creatures fill the windows of an apartment-styled building at 586 Merrimack Street. The window art, titled “Creature Collage,” echos the “energy,” “color,” and “abundance” that the Acre Placemaking Playbook outlines among other terms as key characteristics of the Acre Community.
“Creature Collage” is spread across the interior of four street-facing windows. For each window, Lowell artist Matt G painted the creatures on plywood that is help upright against the windows by a wooden structure. The enhanced primary colors bring the painted creatures to life along Merrimack Street.
