September 12 – November 3, 2024
Saturday, September 14th from 3 – 6 PM
The Department of Art & Design at the University of Massachusetts Lowell collaborated with the Whistler House Museum of Art, Arts League of Lowell, Brush Art Gallery and Studios, Arts Research Collaborative, and the DRAW Team from the LeRoy Neiman Foundation to present DRAWLOWELL: confluence, on view from September 12 to November 3, 2024.
Opening receptions will run throughout the day on Saturday, September 14 at participating galleries. The Whistler House Museum of Art will feature refreshments and curators’ remarks from 3 to 6 pm in the Parker Gallery. These events are free, accessible, and open to all.
Conceived by lead curator Tomas Vu, Artistic Director of the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies at Columbia University, DRAWLOWELL: confluence examines a broader definition of drawing as a means for sharing ideas and forging connections that transcend the geographic and cultural boundaries between Lowell art communities and the wider art world.
The works included represent a wide range of 21st-century drawing practices, from the playful and whimsical to serious investigations of thought and form. The exhibition combines DRAW artists from New York with juried artist members of the host institutions in Lowell.
DRAWLOWELL: confluence is funded with a generous grant from the Artist’s Resource Trust, administered by the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. A special thanks to the Neiman Center for Print Studies at Columbia University and the LeRoy Neiman and Janet Byrne Neiman Foundation for loaning work from their archives.
