Over 55 works by internationally and regionally known artists are on view, including works by Fra Dana, Honoré Daumier, Käthe Kollwitz, Henry Meloy, and Beth Lo.

Children’s Art from the Community showcases artwork created by Lowell elementary school children grades 1, 3 and 5 portraying adults at work, leisure, play.
