OUR EVENTS
2025 WINTER SHOWCASE
This year, we’re trading our usual dunk tank for a live painting competition, where our talented teachers and students will go head-to-head in an exciting art battle. The finished pieces will be auctioned off that night!
Enjoy a retro-themed game night, bid on original art, and connect with the Refuge community. Hosted by our amazing students, Maritza and Daryan, as MC and DJ, it’s a night to celebrate the creativity and skill that make Refuge so special.
Come cheer us on and be part of this unforgettable event!

2024 SUMMER FESTIVAL
In our second annual Summer Festival, we celebrated Refuge Art School’s exciting milestone as a new non-profit! The day featured a dunk tank, raffles, mural tours by the COOL bus, and a variety of live art events. Families and friends enjoyed food trucks and student-led tables, all in support of keeping art education accessible for young artists in Lowell. This festival continued our tradition of coming together for creativity, community, and a shared vision for the future of Refuge Art School.
2023 SUMMER FESTIVAL
Our first-ever Summer Festival celebrated a decade of Refuge Art School and the opening of our new studio space! This special event was filled with live art, food trucks, and creative activities for all ages. Community members joined us for student-led tables featuring henna, face painting, and balloon animals—all while supporting our mission to make art accessible. This festival marked a powerful milestone in our journey, showcasing the vibrant community we've built together.
