“Art has the incredible power to lift the spirit and promote healing by connecting all of us on a deeper level.”

– Dr. Mary Ellen Conroy, Lowell CHC Pediatrician

Celebrating the Healing Power of Art

Although we are no longer accepting artwork for our ArtUp collection, we are deeply thankful to the artists and patrons who supported this unique program. ArtUp has greatly enriched our health center and will continue to inspire for years to come.

The ArtUp Story

Launched in 2015, ArtUp invited community members to purchase one-of-a-kind works by local artists, with each purchase supporting our mission. Half of the purchase price went directly to the artist, while the other half helped fund vital health services not covered by insurance.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, the collection now includes more than 200 pieces by 100 local artists and has raised nearly $200,000 to support Lowell CHC’s commitment to providing care for all.

These carefully selected works of art, chosen for their beauty and ability to inspire, are displayed throughout our building at 161-101 Jackson Street, creating a welcoming and healing space for everyone who visits.

Thank You to Our ArtUp Champions

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the individuals who made ArtUp possible, including committee members Michael Gallagher, Caroline Gallagher, Sarah Bogosian, Jim Dyment, Bill Reedy, Steve Syverson, Liz Stewart, Sara White, Maura Smith, and Barbara Gilbert.

“This was a unique opportunity for me to support two areas that are vital to our community’s well-being: the arts and Lowell Community Health Center. I know my gift will enhance the lives of thousands of individuals for years to come.”

– Michael Breda, ArtUp Patron
