The dog days of August are officially here. And while you may feel like hibernating until September and its cooler days arrive, there’s art and festivals that say get out and enjoy it despite the heat and humidity.
“What If?” Is this month’s offering in the Art in City Hall Lowell exhibition schedule. Curated by Maxine Farkas, this exhibit showcases the creativity of Lowell Senior Center artists John Brickels, Britton Boughner, Michelle Durand, Emily Ferrara, Laurence Johnston, Geoffrey Mahfuz, Dave Phaneuf and Eleni Zhodi.
The city of Lowell started Art in City Hall in 2023 as a monthly art show featuring the work of local artists and galleries. The public is welcome to view these art shows during City Hall hours. Coming in September is the Arts League of Lowell show.
