The Whistler House Museum of Art is launching a special exhibition to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Lowell, Massachusetts. Running from April 18 to June 20, the show features a diverse array of media—including painting, sculpture, and photography—created by members of the Lowell Art Association, Inc. The works focus on the city’s identity as the cradle of the American Industrial Revolution, capturing its historic textile mills, urban landscapes, and cultural heritage.
This exhibition is significant as it aligns with Lowell’s bicentennial celebrations and highlights the legacy of the Lowell Art Association, the oldest incorporated art association in the United States. By showcasing contemporary local artists alongside the museum's permanent "Out of the Vault" collection, the event underscores the enduring connection between New England’s industrial history and its vibrant regional arts scene.
