Join the Lowell Elementary School community for our Spring Art Fest. Enjoy food, live music and a chance to buy one-of-a-kind artworks by students and local artists!

More than 200 pieces of art by our talented children will be exhibited. Each student was given a 6-inch-by-6-inch wooden plaque and invited to turn it into a work of art using whatever media, materials and techniques came to mind. Each piece will be on sale for $10.

Local Seattle artists have donated work as well that will be auctioned during the event.

Live entertainment will be provided by Seattle Fandango Project and Capoeira Malês. Enjoy light hors d’oeuvres and beverages while you view the art and listen to the music.
