“Happy Clouds Portal” is a merry sight for drivers travelling under the Hunts Fall Bridge on VFW Highway. Created by Frank Casazza in the fall of 2023, smiling clouds cover an approximately 100’ x 15’ space on either side of the highway.
The mural was designed with two goals: one, to bring art to areas that are usually left underutilized outside of their original function, and secondly, to provide drivers with a vibrant welcome into Lowell. City Manager Tom Golden initiated the idea of utilizing the bridge space as a welcome, and the idea was followed through by Frank Casazza, who owns Curation 250 with his wife, Ellen Casazza. Frank is also the artist behind the “Art is for Everyone” mural on Middlesex Street, and he is the creator of “Eyeformation.”
Location: 1600 VFW Highway
