Cool Contemporary Curations

By Mariella Mendez

Are you into quirky and contemporary art by young artists? Curation 250 Urban Art Gallery and Shop is the perfect spot to visit in Lowell.

It is my personal favorite as it offers a myriad of unique and modern pieces in their one of a kind studio spaces in the popular Mill No 5 buildings. The art is consistently vibrant and juxtaposes with the buildings’ industrial architecture creating an eclectic aesthetic. 

This gallery offers a personal and interactive experience for guests, from their spray paint vending machine to unique items and fun pieces by local artists available for purchase. You can even check out clothing and outdoor art supplies for sale online. No matter what your budget is, there is a piece of art for everyone.
