COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS

Emerson Umbrella’s community of artists — including 50 artists who rent studios in our building — adds tremendous vitality and inspiration and helps make our Center for the Arts a lively hub of diverse artistic activity. Our artists and tenants include painters, sculptors, photographers, print makers, potters, wood workers and poets, as well as two non-profit organizations, the Concord Poetry Center and the Nature Connection.

Emerson Umbrella’s artists support and strengthen the arts in our community in countless ways. For example they:

• Bring great talent, creativity, and energy to the Emerson Umbrella and our community
• Teach art classes and workshops
• Mentor students and other developing artists
• Exhibit their art in shows at the Emerson Umbrella and other galleries around the world
• Help organize exhibitions featuring the works of other artists
• Open their studios to the public two weekends a year so members of the community can visit, tour, and purchase various types of art directly from the person who created it
• Help Emerson Umbrella’s performing arts series design and build sets, create props, and paint scenes
• Collaborate with, support, and inspire each other
• Participate in community service projects and help with fundraising events
• Network with other artists and arts organizations locally, nationally, and internationally
• Help with maintenance and upkeep of the building and outdoor areas
