Umbrella Open Studios Grows in 2025

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. Its annual Open Studios has long been a Concord tradition, bringing thousands of visitors to meet more than 55 artists, learn about their process, and share in celebrating their work.

Open Studios is blooming bigger and better than ever this year, with activities the whole family can enjoy! Partake in shopping, hear live music, view its multiple gallery exhibitions, sample concessions, and participate in fun activities such as lawn games and a scavenger hunt.

The 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!

Plus, this year, in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American revolution, Open Studios will feature the giant Concord 250 Lantern, the Rise Up! story walk by Barefoot Books, a table display featuring Discover Battle Road, and distribution of the Brister Freeman Revolutionary Concordians Trading Card.

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.
