From: The Umbrella Community Arts Center

STROLL THROUGH YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING

The Umbrella Arts Center kicks off the holiday season this week with the return of Concord's traditional Winter Market, an annual three-day show and sale of artist, artisan, and hand-crafted work on all three floors of our beautifully renovated space at 40 Stow Street.

This year's market will feature dozens of Umbrella Studio Artists, regional Guest Artists, an annual "Off-the-Wall" show with small works under $350, a Ceramics Program holiday sale, and refreshments by Sudbury Coffee Works in the café.

We've also added a new Umbrella Gift Shop where you can buy durable Umbrella-branded totes and gift certificates to treat a loved one to the arts all year around.

Plus, be sure to start on the Third Floor, where you can meet several Studio and guest artists, and enter The Umbrella Prize Drawing.
