Earlier this month, we celebrated the end of this year’s Youth Summer Art Program with a Graduation and Art Exhibition!

The Whistler House Museum of Art displayed all the student’s artwork in our Parker Gallery, where friends and families gathered to watch their young artists receive a diploma and painter’s smock.

We are so proud of their achievements and will miss all of the newest members of the Lowell Art Association. Thank you to all of the students, teachers, interns, and volunteers who made this another wonderful summer!

On May 2, President and Executive Director of the Whistler House Museum of Art (WHMA), Sara Bogosian, along with some WHMA Board Members and Volunteer’s, attended Lowell Cemetery’s West Meadow Dedication to celebrate the unveiling of Eternal Flame. Congratulations to the Board of Trustees and Staff of the Lowell Cemetery on a wonderful event!!

Congratulations to our artist member and friend, Jay Hungate, on your magnificent masterpiece!! Eternal Flame “… represents the spark, the fire, and the passion of the human spirit, held high amidst a quiet place where one can remember and connect to past generations, but also a place for personal reflection. Combining a duality of looking inwards at our own journey, and looking outward at the world around us.” — Jay Hungate
