Mission Statement
The goal of Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment is to nurture artists while educating the public about art and the creative process. In order to accomplish this goal, Lowe Mill, LLC. has established a community where artists, in a working studio environment, are able to create, display, and sell their work; and the public has the opportunity to visit, view, learn and acquire work by local artists.
Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment is the largest privately-owned arts facility in the United States. With a focus on visual arts, this historic textile mill has been redeveloped into 153 working studios for over 300 artists and makers, 7 galleries, a theatre, community garden, and performance venues.
Lowe Mill A&E impacts every sector of the community. Our artists not only shape the Mill collective, but also spread their impact beyond our walls by contributing to the local workforce and economy.
The Mill fosters a sense of belonging for everyone, from established artists, to emerging creatives, and everyone in between. We encourage innovation by creating a safe space for dreamers to generate new ideas and cheering them on to success.
With makers, independent businesses, and even culinary artists, no two working studios are the same. Whether it be a child painting with their fingers, an artist creating work for galleries, museums, and art festivals, or even a retired NASA engineer learning pottery, we are here to support all creatives!
