Lowell is already rich with diverse artists, makers, culture bearers, and experiences. Providing resources and professional development opportunities to these individuals and organizations is key to advancing their practice and strengthening Lowell’s creative economy. This is an increasing priority for Mosaic Lowell, and alows us to reach a large portion of the creative and cultural sector in the city.
Professional Development Training:
We offer regular workshops, both in-person and virtual, for creatives to strengthen and build sustainable businesses for their practice. These workshops are intended to help develop skills outside of your artistic practice and may include topics such as marketing, financial management, social media, and more. Our workshops are presented in partnership with Arts Elevate. To apply to facilitate a session, or to submit a topic you’d like to see us cover, click here.

Assets For Artists:
We launched a Capacity Building Cohort in partnership with Assets for Artists in August of 2024. This program provides individualized, artist-centered professional development to help artists strengthen their creative practice, pursue values-driven careers, build mutually-supportive networks and find resources to achieve long term sustainability and self-determination. Ten Lowell-based creatives were chosen for this program. Meet the cohort.

Our resource library contains information sheets, links, workshop recordings, and more. These resources are relevant to individuals, groups, and organizations. They cover topics such as grant writing, taxes for creatives and freelancers, planning a festival and event, and more.
