The Umbrella Art Center’s Galleries present contemporary art primarily featuring regional artists in our two gallery spaces, as well as select outdoor installations. We seek exhibitions and installations that are bold, engaging, fun, educational, and create opportunities for constructive cultural conversations and explorations. The Umbrella is looking to activate a Vertical Gallery space in the building's atrium. This space is ideal for installations that hang or “float”. Above the atrium is a large skylight that lets natural light in throughout the day. Surrounding the atrium is the Wedge Gallery, our Black Box theater, and classrooms. The installation will be visible from 360 degrees and must engage viewers from all angles. Lightweight materials are preferred and must comply with fire codes. The Umbrella is currently seeking proposals for an installation during our 2026/27 season (September 2026-June 2027). This installation will be up for up to six months. We are accepting proposals from individual artists at this time.
