In partnership with ArtWeek for 2019 (April 26 – May 5, 2019), The Umbrella Arts & Environment Program took the opportunities afforded by several of its Musketaquid Earth Month-related events to invite the public to contribute to a mixed-media installation in its annual, non-juried art exhibition, this year responding to the theme "Embracing Diversity in a Climate of Change".

On Monday April 22 from 6-8PM, The Umbrella Arts & Environment welcomes to the public to the free opening and artists' reception for its annual Musketaquid Earth Month Exhibition, on display from April 17 - May 14, 2019 at The Umbrella Gallery, 40 Stow Street, Concord.

The Umbrella Ceramics Program is pleased to invite the public to attend the charitable fundraising event, Empty Bowls, presented this year with Littleton Community Farm at Orange Door Kitchen, 251 Arlington St, West, Acton MA from 7:00 to 9:00 pm on Saturday, April 13, 2019.

When Wayne Geehan came to The Umbrella in the late 90’s he had his share of experiences with various artist studios. From renting spaces in Watertown Square, Belmont and Carlisle, Wayne was finally able to obtain a studio in Concord at The Umbrella in 2005.

The convenience of The Umbrella is what attracted Tracy Bull back in 2013. If you ask her she’ll say, “Nothing would have held me back from The Umbrella because it’s a convenient specter.” With three kids and a busy schedule Tracy was able to take advantage of The Umbrella’s beneficial location and kid friendly opportunities.

Carol Krauss, a longtime friend of the Umbrella, first came here back in 1996.

With three little kids in school and not wanting to dive back into the corporate life, she had more time on her hands to dedicate herself to something creative. Taking classes at The New England School of Photography and building a little dark room in her basement, Krauss made the best of her surroundings. Even having to carry buckets of water up and down stairs for her prints – calling it “aerobic printing.”

Barbara Willis has been a part of the Umbrella community since before the Umbrella was even established.
