Refuge Lowell

Refuge is more than a safe space to be creative, its a second home.I love coming to Refuge and being able to connect with different people and students. Refuge is a rare and eccentric art space that allows everyone to feel okay for being different. The instructors are welcoming and have unique experiences and levels of expertise in their craft.I recommend Refuge for kids, adults, and especially high school students serious about going to art school. I dont think there is anything more valuable than 1 on 1 support for putting together a college portfolio from people who have actually been through the process.

Refuge Lowell is a genuinely wonderful place for artists of all ages. The instructors and students are engaged in a unique creative community within the greater community of Lowell. They enrich their city as well as the individuals in their creative space. Whether your artist is looking for portfolio development on a track to college, or experience working on a team to create large scale artwork for public display, Refuge Lowell is it!

As an instructor coming to refuge is such a breath of fresh air. It’s always amazing to see the skill of the young artists and to help them cultivate that skill into a strong college portfolio.
