Congratulations to the March 2026 recipients of Mosaic Lowell’s Mini Grant Program! Our grant recipients are:
Alisa Sickora for The Whitherwick Mummers, an art show that will feature folklore-based characters clothed in costumes made with real materials, woven with traditional handcraft techniques, and through choreography sculpt a world-building narrative for all audiences to immerse themselves in. The project is set to premiere at Western Avenue Arts’ inaugural Block Party Open Studios on June 27, 2026.
Jalix Delacruz for Genius Giants Art Classes, an arts program designed for children grades K1-5 that will increase time in the arts classroom, as well as help flesh out existing courses, add new courses, and pave more room for helping students express their emotions creatively without a rigid curriculum.
Cervitude Consulting for Create on the 8, a creative arts for health and wellness workshop series that will focus on resolve strengthening and creative community building, free to participants.
Rysell Draper for Crafting Calm: Empowering Minorities Through Creative Practice, a creative collective that will ultimately lay the grounds for an inclusive, accessible, and most importantly healing space for community-centered arts.
SevenSix for the 76Fest, an annual musical festival held by Seven Six Records—the premier music industry organization at UMass Lowell—who will use this grant toward renting equipment, covering transportation costs for a guest touring artist, and overall supporting UMass Lowell students in gaining networking opportunities beyond the Lowell music scene.
