Lowell Area Arts Councils Inc

1.) To make the arts available to all who wish to engage with the arts and artists (visual and performing)
2.) To support artists by providing venues to showcase and sell their art and perform.
3.) To provide opportunities for youth to create art

1.) Providing a variety of arts programs that meet the needs of both professional artists and people who are new to creating art.
2.) To make the arts programming affordable for those who wish to access it.

LowellArts has been part of the greater Lowell community and West Michigan for over 40 years. In 2017 LowellArts purchased and moved into a new, larger facility in the heart of historic downtown Lowell. With ownership of the facility LowellArts is able to customize its programming to fit the needs outlined in the LowellArts Strategic Plan.

Through evaluation and strategic planning, LowellArts provides quality arts programming to artists and audiences within the context of its unique location and specific community needs, taking into account travel, age, and abilities of participants and visitors. For example, when arts classes were launched in the new space – offered primarily for non-professional artists and youth – careful consideration was put into keeping the cost for these classes affordable. On-line research is done on a regular basis to ensure that LowellArts classes were less expensive than classes offered in neighboring, affluent communities.
