Open Studios - Outdoors

The Umbrella’s reimagined Open Studios heads outdoors to the front lawn! As part of the multi-week spring Artfest, OS2021 will feature exhibits and demos from dozens of artists over two weekends in May.

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. Since the organization’s founding Studio Artists have been at the heart of making this facility a community asset and wellspring of creative activity. A cherished tradition in Concord, annual Open Studios is an incredible opportunity to meet diverse artists, learn about their process, and share in celebrating their work.

This year, due to the pandemic, The Umbrella’s reimagined Open Studios heads outdoors to the front lawn of 40 Stow Street, Concord! As part of the multi-week art of Artfest, Open Studios 2021 will feature exhibits from dozens of our amazing Studio Artists in limited time-slots with social distancing over two weekends in May:
