On the first Saturday of every month, Western Avenue Studios & Western Avenue Lofts artists open their doors to the public. Come take a peek inside their work spaces and see for yourself why Western Avenue is the creative soul of Lowell.

Our September Open Studios is Saturday, September 7, 2019, from 12-5PM.

What’s amazing about WA is the variety of art in the community.  Take Wretched Hive Creations for example.  The photo here is of a head piece they created for cosplay – Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars : the Clone Wars. Stop by Studio 112 and talk to Bob Gouveia about his creative process and maybe discuss a custom piece for yourself.

What else happens on an OS Saturday? The Loading Dock Gallery hosts its’ monthly reception for the gallery’s new show – These Shoes Are Made For Walking – from 4-6pm. Brew’d Awakening will be serving coffee on the A Mill Loading Dock along with Sweet Lydia’s Chocolates! Navigation Brewing is hosting a fundraiser for the NH Roller Derby with members hanging at NB from 12-5pm. And a food truck will be ready for action from noon – 8pm.

Western Avenue is a complex of four buildings of artist studios and loft residences that number over 350 artists. We think that makes us the largest artist community at least on the East Coast – right here in Lowell MA!!

This is a free event AND we have plenty of free parking.

We hope to see you on Western Ave on the 7th!!
