Lowell had its first in 2025, and DIY Lowell is bringing it back! Our goal is to support downtown businesses while showing all we can do besides making room for cars on our streets. We heard the feedback: Folks want more activities, food, and music! New features we’re working on are pop-up art inspired by local businesses, an interactive “Lowell’s largest quilt” experience, a poetry walk, live music all afternoon, and business partnerships for more al fresco dining options.
NEW ENGLAND REGIONAL JURIED EXHIBIT & 12TH ANNUAL POETRY CONVERGENCE Show: Between Dog and Wolf Exhibition Dates: September 30th – November 1st, 2026 Opening Reception: October 3rd, 3 – 5 PM 12th Annual Poetry Convergence Live Poetry Reading Inspired by Artists’ Works: October 3rd, 5-7 PM Loading Dock Gallery invites the public to our New England Regional Juried Exhibit & 12th Annual Poetry Convergence. Inspired by the ancient phrase Inter Canem et Lupum-Between Dog and Wolf - this regional juried exhibit explores the space where certainty gives way to ambiguity. Through painting, sculpture, photography, fiber art, ceramics, and mixed media, artists examine the interplay of light and darkness, comfort and tear, and the known versus the unknown. Together, these works invite viewers to embrace transition, question perception, and discover the creative possibilities that emerge when familiar boundaries begin to blur. Between Dog and Wolf will be open Wednesdays-Fridays 12–5:30 PM and weekends 10 AM–3:30 PM, September 30th through November 1st, 2026. Join us for the opening reception on October 3rd from 3–5 PM during Western Avenue Studios & Lofts Open Studios. This show is in conjunction with the 12th Annual Poetry Convergence. Local poets headed by Stephan Anstey create poems in response to the artworks, culminating in a live reading happening from 5 - 7pm following the gallery reception. Open since 2007 our spacious co-op gallery, inside historic Western Ave. mill complex, is home to 30+ artists. Divided into two sections; the front Showcase Gallery features a new, themed show every month and in the Main Gallery, which changes quarterly you will enjoy a diverse selection of original fine art, art-to-wear, handcrafted gift items, jewelry, soap, pottery, prints, greeting cards and so much more! The Loading Dock Gallery is the most eclectic art gallery & high-end gift shop in the Merrimack Valley. Loading Dock Gallery is part of Loading Dock Arts, Inc., a 501(c)(3).

Every year, DIY Lowell collects community project ideas from the public. Anyone who pledges to help can vote on the ideas in September. The Community Idea Summit is the place where we kick off those ideas, and we want you to join us! The summit is where everything comes together — volunteers, experts, ideas and energy. We believe the diversity of perspective and experience people bring makes the ideas people bring a big success. Stay tuned for more information! This program is funded in part by a grant from the Lowell Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
