Refuge Lowell provides a safe, equitable space for local students to explore their talents and develop as artists through nurturing, mentorship, and rigorous arts instruction. Refuge began in 2014 as a literal “refuge” for youth artists seeking space, guidance, and direction. We have grown to offer a unique combination of art classes designed to further student development of critical thinking skills, creative self-expression, and social-emotional learning.

Small class sizes, constructive feedback, individualized instruction, internships with local artists, community public art collaborations, and intensive mentorship from practicing and teaching artists set us apart from other art education settings.
Artistic connection and a passion for community engagement carve a home in the hearts of our students and teachers.
