SUMMARY:Avian Exotica | Group Exhibit | 5th Floor Mini Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Avian Exotica is an immersive exhibition that embraces Vietnam’s\nbird club culture. Fourteen artists create 2D and 3D birds using unique materials that mimic Asian songbirds and their unique cages. Inspired by my travels to Vietnam\, I devised an idea based on bird clubs in the parks of Hanoi\, Saigon\, and Hoi An. In these clubs\, participants display songbirds to teach other birds their songs. \nThis exhibit will be available to the public May 1st through September 6th. Any day of the week 9AM – 5PM. In our 5th Floor Mini Gallery at: 122 Western Avenue Studios\, Lowell MA\, 01851. \nWith a reception held on May 3rd\, 5PM – 7PM.

SUMMARY:Maps of Legends | by James Flynn | Lofts Lobby Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Visit this amazing solo exhibit by one of our talented loft artists.  \n“Since childhood\, I’ve been drawn to maps\, paintings\, and mythology—ways of seeing that connect us to the past while helping us make sense of the present. Ancient Roman and Greek myths once offered me that bridge\, and now I find similar power in painting. For me\, each painting is like a map\, an exploration of feeling\, memory\, and place that leads us back to the origins of creation and forward into understanding the present moment. \nI begin with a feeling and a vision of color\, layering thin washes of paint that slowly build a landscape. These layers\, bright\, subtle\, and deeply connected\, interact like stories in a myth or paths on a map. My goal is to create terrain others can travel\, guides that illuminate different aspects of the here and now. I see painting as an ongoing conversation\, one that brings us together and invites us to look more closely at the world and ourselves.” ~ James Flynn \nThis exhibit will be open to the public during our monthly Open Studio Saturdays or by appointment May 25th – July 15th. \nTo reserve a private visit email: blackseamus@gmail.com \n
