Exhibit Features Paintings by Mark Romanowsky – July 1-26

The “Benefits of Lowell’s Urban Environment” exhibition (hosted by The Brush Art Gallery & Studios) is a collection of photos, paintings, and posters resulting from a series of activities designed to bring awareness of the urban environment to our community. In addition, local artists were invited to exhibit their own examples. Funded by the Theodore Edson Parker Foundation, the series included partnerships with Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust, Lowell Cemetery, Lowell National Historical Park, and Lowell High School.

Work for the exhibition includes: photos from four of the activities by Paul Richardson; plein air drawings and paintings by Claire Gagnon, David Drinon, Will Winslow, and Norma VonFricken; Arbor Day posters (including five award winners from Lowell High School, one from the Recreational Adult Resource Association, and one from STEM Academy at the Rogers School); and paintings by Dr. Mark Romanowsky. Dr. Romanowsky will donate his commission to the Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust for any sale of his paintings on exhibit.
