Opening reception: Saturday, October 4th | 3-5pm

This theme considers how public environments can contain deeply personal experiences, and how private spaces are often shaped by public forces—social norms, political structures, surveillance, or shared memory. Artists are encouraged to examine questions of access, autonomy, intimacy, and exposure within the context of physical, digital, and psychological space.

Public Places, Private Spaces also includes Lowell’s Eleventh Annual Poetry Convergence. On October 4, as part of the opening, local poets will create and present poems inspired by works in the exhibit.

Juror: Paige Roehrig
