Refuge Art School provides a safe, equitable space for young people to explore their talents, combining arts education with mentorship, leadership development, and workforce preparation to empower their futures and their communities.
Our students come from the city of Lowell and surrounding communities, each bringing their own story to Refuge.
At Refuge, we keep art accessible for all, with no financial or skill-based barriers to joining. Here, our students share what art means to them, the challenges they’ve faced, and how Refuge has helped them grow as artists and compassionate leaders. Get to know the people behind the art and what inspires them.
We’d love to hear from you! If you’re interested in collaborating, click on our "Collab with Us" form below to share your project idea, or email us directly at refugelowell@gmail.com.
