We would pick a location that has changed and perhaps needs attention. We would find historic photos (with rights purchased or donated) and make a contest of painting interpretations of the historic streetscape in that location. We would create a small display at that location. We would also offset costs by creating postcards of the photos and artwork. These could be sold in stores in Lowell.
What Once was Here: Display of Historical Streetscape Pictures and Paintings at that Location
Idea:
Benefit:
Remind Lowell of history. Use lessons of the past to inspire the future of an area. Draw attention to an underutilized location.
Location:
I am so happy that my idea was brought up for some future discussion. Lowell has a very rich history and I think that should be made available to the public.
Thank you so much for bringing this up. Can’t wait to get a painting of the old Lowell
