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:Perfect | By Emily Sandagata | Lofts Lobby Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Emily Sandagata’s mixed-media work blurs the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and textile art. Incorporating found objects\, natural materials\, and earth-based pigments\, her practice is rooted in process and transformation. Through densely layered paintings and sculptural forms\, Emily explores recurring themes of survival\, growth\, death\, and redemption\, offering viewers a tactile meditation on cycles of change and renewal. \nEmily has chosen selected works from 12 years of residence in Western Avenue Lofts for this solo exhibit\, one you won’t want to miss! \nOpening reception and open to the public: August 2nd during open studios 12pm – 5pm. Show will be up August 1st – August 30th. \nYou can also email Emily: emilysandagata@gmail.com for a private showing outside of open studio hours!

SUMMARY:Nap Time | By Dina Mordeno | Lofts Storage Closet Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Opening Sat Aug 2\, 2025. Visit during Open Studios from August to October. Dina Mordeno’s painting series\, Nap Time\, utilizes the natural wood grain as a skin tone for the figures\, leaving the drawing exposed to direct the focus to the figure in each piece. The bare wood mirrors the vulnerability of the napping person. As a current resident of the Western Avenue Lofts Dina works primarily as a painter creating interpretive landscapes and figurative works. \nMore of her work can be seen at the Loading Dock Gallery in the studios building and TAG in SOWA arts & Design district in Boston. \nStorage Closet Gallery is located on the 2nd Floor of Western Avenue Lofts building. \nVisitors must schedule with the coordinator for a private visit outside of open studio hours.

SUMMARY:SOLID GROUND | A Group Exhibit by WA Artists | 3rd & 5th Mini Galleries
DESCRIPTION:As Western Avenue marks its 20th anniversary\, this exhibition honors the very place that has nurtured our creative community for two decades: our historic mill buildings. These vast\, storied spaces are more than walls and windows\, they are the ground where we work\, experiment\, and grow; where artists meet\, collaborate\, and live as part of a culture that values creativity. \nThe show invites reflection on what it means to have a space dedicated to making art\, a space where the artist-self is not an oddity but part of a thriving collective. Here\, we are free to be authentic\, playful\, bold\, and deeply curious in our explorations. \nFeaturing work in all mediums\, the exhibition celebrates the physical presence of the Western Avenue complex and the role these buildings play in our shared creative life. From their historic architecture to the personal connections forged within them\, the show highlights what these spaces mean to the artists who call them home. \nOpen to both current and former Western Avenue artists\, the work on view spans the past 20 years\, reflecting the evolving story of our community and its enduring connection to this place.
