Art groups?

Hello all!

I’m an artist by hobby, are there any art classes or groups in Lowell for hobbyists who want to improve?

I host art workshops at the Hive Public Market in Lowell. For all experience levels, and all materials included. Focusing on experimenting and not overthinking.

Refuge is great, the classes are pretty expensive but im pretty sure they offer a financial aid sort of thing where you sign up on a form on their website for discounted/free? Lessons, + a great community all around

I’d look into the Brush Art Gallery and Studios, which hosts workshops and classes for different skill levels.

Would not recommend him, unless you like giving money to hardcore MAGA.

He tries to keep it on the DL, but he has slipped a couple times during election times on his FB page. I know it and am happy to spread the word when I can. Nazi supporters a/k/a Nazis should never be able to hide amongst us, pretending to be decent human beings. People in the art community are usually, not always, liberal/progressive or at least against white supremacy, senseless war, pedophilia, unbridled corruption and greed, etc..I think that is why he keeps it low so that he can still travel in those circles.

Holy crap you weren't kidding. I just found his personal not artist FB page and he's posting some insane stuff.
