Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment Guide
Unleash Your Inner Artist: Explore Creativity at Lowe Mill Guide
Welcome to Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment, one of the largest privately owned arts facilities in the Southern United States! This isn't just a building; it's a vibrant community where artists create, collaborate, and showcase their talents. Whether you're an art aficionado, a curious traveler, or simply looking for a unique experience, Lowe Mill offers something for everyone. Prepare to be inspired as you wander through studios, galleries, and performance spaces, discovering the diverse range of artistic expressions housed within these historic walls. Lowe Mill's story began in 1901 as a textile mill, later transitioning to a shoe factory and then a space for defense manufacturing during World War II. In the late 1990s, the building was purchased with the vision of transforming it into an arts center. This vision came to fruition, and today, Lowe Mill stands as a testament to the power of repurposing and the enduring appeal of art. The building's industrial past is still visible in its architecture, adding a unique character to the artistic atmosphere. At Lowe Mill, you can immerse yourself in the creative process. Visit open studios to watch artists at work, browse galleries filled with paintings, sculptures, jewelry, and more, and catch a live performance in one of the venue's performance spaces. Participate in workshops to learn a new skill, or simply enjoy the atmosphere and grab a bite to eat at one of the on-site cafes. For a truly unique culinary experience, check out the various food trucks that often park on the grounds, offering everything from gourmet burgers to international cuisine. Don't forget to check the event calendar for special events, festivals, and exhibitions that take place throughout the year.
