Open Studios 2026

Saturday, May 2 - 3

40 Stow Street, Concord, MA 01742

The Umbrella Arts Center is home to more than 60 working artists skilled in a variety of fine and applied arts including ceramics, glass, fiber arts, jewelry making, illustration, mixed-media, painting, photography, printmaking, illustration, sculpture, woodworking, writing and more. Our annual Open Studios is an incredible opportunity to meet our artists, learn about their process, and share in celebrating their work.

Open Studios features activities the whole family can enjoy! Partake in shopping, hear live music, view our gallery exhibition, sample concessions, and participate in fun activities such as lawn games and a scavenger hunt.

Our popular annual spring Ceramics Sale features over 25 Umbrella artists’ work, which makes for perfect Mother’s Day gifts ranging from handheld vessels to large scale sculpture, from the functional and foodsafe to the decorative and whimsical!

This program is offered in partnership with Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area during the Hidden Treasures Festival of Nature, Culture & History. Learn more at freedomsway.org.
