Artist: Kit Collins

Date Installed: 2020

Throughout the fall of 2019 and completed in 2020, artist Kit Collins brought color to an 8’x20’ storage container in Kerouac Park with her mural, “Mill City Shapes.” The City of Lowell commissioned Kit Collins to create the acrylic mural, which covers the storage container with familiar features such as the silhouette of the Merrimack River, thread spindles, and loom technology. These industrial and environmental snapshots serve as an ode to Lowell’s history of labor and textile production in the mills.
