The Loading Gallery is Open!​ We are now open Friday thru Sunday from 12 noon to 4 pm. We can't wait to welcome you again!

The Loading Dock Gallery Presents our September Gallery Show:
Urban Elements
September 2 - September 27
Explore three visions of the urban world, inspired by the architecture of Lowell and the evolution of our urban world.
Through richly textured oil paintings, Wendy James reveals the city layered with time and stories. John Brickels creates architectural sculpture inspired by the effects of history on the city. Barbara Jean Gilbert envisions the city shaped by time, politics, and ecological threat.

         October 2 - November 1, 2020 
       New England Regional Juried Show
        "RED, White, and Blue"  In conjunction with the
        Sixth Annual Poetry  Convergence
         In this month preceding the national election, The Loading Dock  Gallery                       is posing the question “What do the colors red, white, and blue represent                     to you?” Artists, using a variety of media, will be revealing what the                                 colors evoke in them. This show may include memories, celebrations, symbols, ideals, perceptions of duty, democracy, elements of our Constitution or history, or the opportunities provided by this “Great Experiment” (pro and con) entitled the American Dream.
Let us connect to what is true and authentic about our views of Red, White and Blue.
6th Annual Poetry Convergence
Invited area poets will preview the exhibit and create poems for the work that evokes a response in them.  The poems will be recited in the gallery and recorded for the gallery website. This is a much-loved reading of newly written poetry inspired by the art of The Loading Dock Gallery’s exhibition.

​We are working hard to follow the safety standards implemented by Governor Baker to ensure that both our artist members and visitors have a safe and enjoyable ​experience in our gallery.

We are asking that you practice safe social distancing by remaining at least six feet apart to the greatest extent possible, both inside and outside the gallery. Face coverings or masks are required for everyone while entering the Western Avenue Studios building and in the gallery. The rest of the studio building remains closed to the public.

We have provided adequate gloves and hand sanitizer and will maintain cleaning protocols specific to the gallery including regular sanitization of high touch areas. The gallery is prepared to disinfect all common surfaces at intervals appropriate to a gallery setting.

Any artist member who is displaying COVID-19-like symptoms will not be present in the gallery and should an active member be diagnosed with COVID-19, cleaning and disinfecting will be performed.  ​
