Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment

I must be the only person in Huntsville to not enjoy Lowe Mill. Had heard wonderful comments from friends. Very disappointing. We did enjoy the coffee and excellent chocolate at the chocolate shop. Will go there again. I liked the repurposing of an old building but the rest left me uninterested. Too bad as I hoped to bring out of town guests here.

Huntsville should be proud to have Lowe Mill, such an amazing arts center. There is something for everyone! Don’t forget the food, popsicles, tea and the best chocolate you will ever have. There is always something going on whether it be classes, concerts, workshops or a unique events. Home to so many talented artists!

There is so much to do at Lowe Mill that it’s impossible to discover everything in a day. From the many talented artists to the wonderful food, it’s safe to say I’ve fallen in love. I’ll be back whenever I need a cup of tea, some inspiration, and good company.

Love Everything LoweMill has to offer. An art lovers dream. They also provide free entertainment throughout the year that is family friendly. In fact, some events are just for children.

I love Lowe Mill! It’s such a unique place. When I first moved to Huntsville a couple years ago, I heard about the place from the ladies working at the DMV and decided to check it out. There’s a little bit of everything – stained glass artists, painters, photographers, jewelers, fabric artists, etc. It’s more art and less crafts. It’s good to come on Saturdays and spend the day. It’s a deceiving view from the outside as you don’t realize how much is on the inside at first. There are 3 floors and more buildings out back. All week there are concerts, art shows, and even classes. It’s fun to be able to see the artists working there and to purchase the art straight from them and get the stories. A definite MUST VISIT!!!

Went here on a saturday during the artist market– such a cool old building with lots to offer: food, art and media wise. Protip: Don’t forget to go to all 3 floors, ride the pulley elevator, and explore the side shops on the side building especially the chocolate shop (YUM!).The best way to describe this place is that you have to drive through the ghetto to get here, it’s an old factory that is like asheville minus the dirty hippies.

This is a great place to visit! It is kind of a sketchy place of Huntsville, but once inside it will take you away. You will meet a lot of interesting artists and people. It is a great place to just come and wander the building. They have some magnificent art!
Also, I really appreciate how this place has several events and music. For example, they had the Battle of the Bands here and it was just cool! It offered a place for students to hang out and chill.
They do have food there, typical vendor food. Also, they have Fred bread which is supposed to be really tasty. I have yet to try it but all my friends rave about this particular bread!

Great fun

About eight years ago I went here once for a Face to Face improv show on either the second or third floor and felt like I had showed up in the middle of some seedy porn set. That gave me a horrible impression of Lowe Mill for years, so when my wife told me she had gone there to eat at Happy Tummy I was very sketched out. She apparently found my impression laughable based on her experience there, so we headed to that awesome little deli for a Saturday lunch.
We got there before the restaurant opened, so we milled about on the second floor and saw some interesting booths and stores, mostly of arts and crafts. I’m not going to say most of it was up our alley, but I’ve definitely changed my idea from «seedy porn set» to «trippy hippy market», which is definitely several steps up.
One thing we really enjoyed is that dogs seem welcome here, so if there is any music we might enjoy in their summer concerts we’ll be taking at least one of our dogs out to enjoy it.

It’s a fun place to be. There are many kinds of arts and crafts for sale here. Some great paintings, jewelry and other odd things (this was pretty awesome) like guitars made out of a wooden cigar box.
Gotta visit this place if you are in town!

We came to the Lowe Mill on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to explore and check it out. It is a huge building — and we were surprised at how many people were there, but after visiting, I can see why this place draws such a crowd.
The 1^st level is part galleries/​artist studios and partly a café (Yummy Tummy) and an event space — on the day we visited, there was a Hi-​Fi Weddings event. We initially visited that part of the space and had free cupcake and cake samples, visited a winery table and even saw a bachelorette party strip show advertising stripping classes. The vendors all seemed so friendly and talented — whether or not you are planning a wedding or another event in Huntsville or beyond.
The rest of the space was all artist spaces and we had a great time walking around– perusing art, talking to artists, and popping in the occasional space. We particularly enjoyed the glass blowing studio, the cigar box guitar place, the little book store, the bread store, and a few of the vendors who had set up along the way.
The building is so incredible– the windows, the installations and the people really make it a unique place — reminds me of the big loft buildings and artist spaces in Atlanta that I love so much.
A wonderful place to spend an afternoon — wish we had been able to try Yummy Tummy– the sandwiches all seemed so unique.
Definitely will be back here…

I was so happy to stumble upon this place. It reminds me of the Goat Farm in Atlanta. It’s a quirky old mill that’s been transformed into a beautiful place for artists, jewelry makers, bakers, thespians, sculptors, glass blowers, etc.
They have the Artist Market every Saturday 1−4PM and I highly recommend it. I bought a piece from The Red Goat Gallery (you should bargain — you’ll get a great deal,) watched artists working, talked to a glass blower, smelled some pretty deelish bread, and just got to take in the awe of a place that is singularly unique. LOVE it.
I posted a pic here that should sum it up. :) If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the elevator. You must ride on it.
