Gondola Rides in the Canal

Idea:

Like bringing Venice, Italy to Lowell to provide romantic rides in fancy “gondolas” in the canal.

Benefit:

Beautiful and interactive

Location:

Don't Know, OldIdea.

Painting Electrical Boxes

Idea:

Hire artists to paint grey and beige electrical boxes at curbside with colorful, amazing images. Materials needed: paint, drop cloths. Hold an exhibit with ideas, choose the best, pay artists for time and materials. Maybe make the boxes direct visitors to Lowell sites.

Benefit:

Beautification. Beautify our cityscape. Add visual interest, plus it’s a way for artists to show their work in a nontraditional setting. We could hold a tour of the boxes when the project is completed. Makes Lowell look like the artistic place it is.

Location:

Citywide, OldIdea.

Card to Culture

We are proud to participate in Mass Cultural Council's Card to Culture program in collaboration with the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Department of Public Health's WIC Nutrition Program, the Massachusetts Health Connector, and hundreds of organizations by making cultural programming accessible to those for whom cost is a participation barrier.

Most DIY Lowell annual events are free, but often have a suggested donation. No donation is suggested for EBT, WIC, or ConnectorCare cardholders. See the complete list of participating organizations offering EBT, WIC, and ConnectorCare discounts.

Special Thanks

This program is funded in part by a grant from the Lowell Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. We also express our sincere gratitude to our Cornerstone Partners:
