Lowell Arts presents: Against the GrainWhat happens when artists refuse to follow the rules of their craft? Against the Grain brings together seven artists who take familiar materials in surprising new directions. Visitors will encounter contemporary quilts, tapestry and weaving, sculptural wood, relief carvings, woven sculptural forms, and monotype prints, each one pushing past what these materials are "supposed" to do. The result is an exhibition full of texture, color, and invention. Come see how far a quilt, a loom, a block of wood, or a printing plate can go when an artist decides to work against the grain.
