Norman Lowell Gallery

09/15/2026

Today, September 15th, is the final day of our 2026 season. Its has been a fun and rewarding season!
I’m grateful to so many people who made this season successful - the staff, board, and families. I especially am grateful to those who volunteered their time. Kathryn, the flowers were wonderful this year!
And of course, I am grateful to the 5000+ visitors who came and toured the museum this year. It’s all for your enjoyment that we keep this open and free of charge! We had visitors from every American State. I’m pretty sure residents visited from every Canadian province and territory except perhaps for Nunavut. And visitors came from dozens of other nations from around the world.
It has been 2 years since Norman Lowell took his final journey in life and went home to be with his Lord. I see, every day, the importance of his legacy and the impact that his work has on those who come here. Many now come through who never got to meet him, and it still moves people deeply. This is a very special place.
I look forward to next season, beginning May 1st of 2027! We’ll have some exciting new things to share with you all! Have a wonderful winter season, friends!

Our beloved Norman Lowell passed away on Monday night. He was 96 years old. His journey of life is now complete, but may his paintings, writings, and the kindness and generosity for which he was so well known continue to inspire countless people across the world.
From Norman's many poetic writings is this piece, written about his own artistic expressions, titled 'Remember':

Remember...
These are but the efforts of a man. If you are impressed, look to the grandeur of this great land; and it may overwhelm your greatest imagination, cause you to wonder, to reflect upon all you have ever seen or known upon this earth. May it make you know with certainty that it was God who formed this earth, and his hand that touched with beauty this place.

Let me lead your mind one step further beyond the veil of this earth and tell you of another place, a home not made with human hands, whose builder and maker is God.

This is the word of God to man: "that this land and this place called heaven far exceeds the glories of this earth!"
- Norman Lowell

We love and miss you, Norman.
