ThisThatOther

Started my LLC in January 2025. Opened the doors for business on February 11, 2025. I run a small retail store supporting artists from the greater Lowell area. ThisThatOther provides booth space for artists to sell their pieces. Currently housing 21 local artists and vintage enthusiasts display and sell their products. ThisThatOther is located in the protected Historical District on E Main Street of Lowell. 

I have made space at the back of the store for a classroom. After speaking with several in-house and community artists a classroom would be a welcomed addition. The artists would enjoy having a place to teac others the basic skills needed for their medium. 

When a person learns an art it brings positive change t their life. Many experience an increase in self esteem, confidence and self awareness. As well as a decrease ir the mental and physical symptoms of depression and anxiety. Many PTSD sufferers will use an art form to obtain a sense of peace and safety. Many will gain a feeling of belonging and compassion for others. This is not a complete list. It is also not a plug for any one genr My classroom will focus on the art of creating tangible pieces.
