ABOUT OUR VISUAL ARTS SEASON

Umbrella Arts' visual arts season unites its galleries and outdoor Art Ramble under the theme HUMAN/NATURE, inviting audiences to explore their humanity, and their relationships and responsibilities to the natural world across several exhibitions. Together, the exhibitions create a season-long narrative that moves beyond division and toward connection, and a renewed appreciation for life in all its forms.

The season opens Fall 2026 with the On Being Human series by mosaic artist Cynthia Fisher, Menjunje/Amalgamation by mixed-media artist Shelly “Lola” Freund, and ceramic artist Helen Duncan’s outdoor installation Disperse. Extending beyond the gallery walls and into the famous Walden Woods, Umbrella’s Art Ramble encourages audiences to reflect and engage – with the environment and each other – establishing the foundation for a season-long conversation about connection, stewardship, and what it means to be fully human.

For winter 2027, the exhibitions shift focus to humans’ relationships to the environment: Dialogue with Nature by botanical artist Alice Rosa and Unreal Cities by graphic designer and multimedia artist Diane Bronstein ask audiences to reflect on their responsibilities to the natural world.

Spring 2027 brings a solo exhibition by award-winning painter and sculptor Cicely Carew, whose vibrant, immersive work navigates identity, belonging, and hope and joy.

Connecting Community through Public Art

In addition to programming exhibitions in our gallery spaces, the Umbrella Arts Visual Arts program has continued to works with artists, curators and regional collaborators to create and install temporary art in public spaces that encourage community engagement, reflection, interaction and environmental appreciation. Our annual Art Ramble partners with the Concord Division of Natural Resources. This annual collaborative project celebrates all the arts -- sculpture, poetry, dance, and dramatic readings encourage the intersection of art, nature, and community in a historic natural setting. These seasonal exhibtions take place in the Hapgood Wright Town Forest. To view previous public art projects, please click here.
