Concord

As we prepare for the long awaited return of The Concord Film Project, we met up with Kim Burns, CFP co-founder and 2022 Stewardship of the Arts Awardee, to get insight into how she curates her films and what she hopes the return of CFP will bring to the community.

The Umbrella Arts Center: It's been almost three years since The Concord Film Project has shown a film at The Umbrella. Thinking back to the films that you've shown here, are there any that standout as favorites? 

CONCORD, MA – Sponsored by the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library, the 28th annual Concord Festival of Authors (CFA) goes LIVE online to celebrate the written and spoken word with a global audience. CFA events will take place via Zoom from October 16 to October 31, 2020 after months of collaborative planning with organizations in and beyond Concord.

The Umbrella was spotlighted in two homepage feature articles in The Concord Journal newspaper, May 3.

In the feature Renovations at Umbrella Community Arts near the finish line, journalist Pam Ellertson provides a comprehensive, illustrated overview of the multistage construction projects underway at our HQ at 40 Stow Street in Concord.
