SUMMARY:Flora & Feathers | By Kelsey Engvik | 3rd Floor Mini Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition celebrates the intricate and symbiotic relationship between plants and birds through the delicate art of embroidery. The show\, titled “Flora and Feathers\,” goes beyond simple representation. It’s a dialogue between two worlds\, rendered in stitches. One section of the gallery is dedicated to flora\, featuring embroidered botanical studies that capture the unique textures of petals\, the delicate veins of leaves\, and the twisted forms of branches. The work here celebrates the quiet\, foundational beauty of the plant world. The other section of the gallery is dedicated to feathers\, where the threads mimic the varied plumage of the birds that nest among these very plants.The composition of these pieces highlights the interdependence of these two life forms—how a plant provides shelter and sustenance\, and a bird contributes to pollination and seed dispersal. This visual storytelling turns each embroidered piece into a microcosm of an entire ecosystem. \n  \nAvailable to the public March 2nd – April 6th on the 3rd floor mini gallery and a reception held on March 2nd: 6-7PM with an artist talk at 6:30PM. \nSee you there!

SUMMARY:She Still Loves You Nonetheless | By Cloudy Rosas | 4th Floor Mini Gallery
DESCRIPTION:When uncomfortable feelings emerge\, Cloudy’s response is to compartmentalize\, to break down old cardboard boxes\, stitch found objects to them\, and assemble them into small buildings. Through this she thinks about loneliness\, depression\, nature\, dreams\, and spirituality. There is healing the deeper we go\, slowly coming back up towards learning to overcome. This exhibit is a collection of vulnerability.  \nThis will be open to the public March 14th – May 9th \nJoin us for a reception on March 20th 12PM – 2PM

SUMMARY:The Space We Make
DESCRIPTION:Lowell’s theme in this year’s Artists Thrive summit is “spatial justice”\, a recognition that space is not neutral\, but shaped by who has access to it\, who is welcomed into it\, and who is able to create within it. This extends past owned space to community space\, space to create\, public spaces\, imagined space\, and internal space. Western Avenue was once industrial space that has been reshaped\, over time and through concerted effort\, into something deeply human. Not just places to live or work\, but claimed\, adapted\, and sustained artist space\, nestled deep in the heart of Lowell. This show is a small introduction to that larger story\, and an invitation for summit attendees to explore the space they are visiting\, the city of Lowell and the community of Western Avenue. Where space is not just something that we occupy but something we actively make together.
