Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment
A century-old textile mill converted into an arts village with more than 150 studios, said to be one of the largest privately run arts facilities in the United States.
Lowe Mill was built in 1900 as a cotton mill. It was later converted into an arts and entertainment centre, and today it houses more than 150 artists' studios, galleries, pottery and jewellery workshops, a chocolate shop and cafés. Visitors can walk into the studios to watch artists at work and buy pieces directly. Markets, live music and film screenings are often held on weekends. Nearby, the old school conversion known as Campus 805 is home to craft breweries. The mill is open Wednesday through Saturday (open until late on Fridays), with free admission. Plan to spend 1.5 to 2 hours.
