Whorl: Vertical Gallery Activation by Debra Fleury

9/23/26 10:00 am to 2/26/27 9:00 pm EDT
Umbrella Arts Whorl: Vertical Gallery Activation by Debra Fleury

Concord, MA

Contact: Katie Baum

The inaugural Vertical Gallery Activation features a multi-media installation from Massachusetts artist Debra Fleury. Influenced by the human experience, Fleury’s work seeks to encourage exploration and evoke a sense of joy and wonder. Translucent fabric has been painted in a watercolor effect and sewn together, creating channels and undulating patterns that are then filled with wire. Through this process, “a hidden internal world is made visible, giving shape to what is deeply felt but not easily named.”

Menjunje/Amalgamation: An Exploration of Language and Identity by Shelly “Lola” Freund

9/23/26 10:00 am to 11/16/26 9:00 pm EDT
Umbrella Arts Menjunje/Amalgamation: An Exploration of Language and Identity by Shelly “Lola” Freund
40 Stow Street
Concord, MA
United States
Contact: Katie Baum

Artist Shelly “Lola” Freund utilizes brightly colored renditions of her own fingerprints and objects reminiscent of family keepsakes to reflect on her multicultural identity. By using her own body as the subject of her work, Freund asks us to consider how identity is categorized and interpreted in our modern world.   Freund’s sweeping canvases feature vibrant pinks and blues that shimmer with the additions of rhinestones, glitter, and copper. As light bounces from one canvas to the next, the viewer is taken on a journey through the artist’s own diasporic origins.

Bat Boy: The Musical

9/25/26 7:30 pm to 11/8/26 5:30 pm EST
Umbrella Arts Bat Boy: The Musical
40 Stow Street
Concord, MA
United States
Contact: Katie Baum

Half-bat, half-boy, ripped from the tabloid headlines, and thrust into the spotlight! In this camp horror comedy, a misunderstood monster seeks a place to belong. Taken in by a veterinarian, endeared to his adopted sister Shelly, and reviled by the locals, mild-mannered “Edgar” searches fiercely for a place he can truly be himself. Set to an eclectic pop-rock score by Laurence O'Keefe (Legally Blonde, Heathers the Musical), Edgar’s wild journey is a hilarious satire and an offbeat fable for the outsider in all of us.

Disperse: Art Ramble by Helen Duncan

10/2/26 to 11/13/26 12:00 pm
Umbrella Arts Disperse: Art Ramble by Helen Duncan
40 Stow Street
Concord, MA
United States
Contact: Claire Bellanger

This year’s Art Ramble features work by multi-media artist Helen Duncan. Duncan’s porcelain clay and wire forms are dispersed along the Fairyland Pond Trail in the Hapgood Wright Town Forest, right off of Concord Center. Duncan's delicate dandelion-esque pieces come alive on the trail, responding to their environment by shifting with the breeze and reflecting sunlight. Through these exchanges, as well as our own impact on the work, we are asked to examine how the varied elements of the world around us may interact with each other.

I AND YOU

10/9/26 7:30 pm to 11/22/26 4:30 pm EDT
Umbrella Arts I AND YOU
40 Stow Street
Concord, MA
United States
Contact: Katie Baum

Umbrella Arts presents... I AND YOU.  THE STORY: A homebound teen and an unexpected visitor clash over a Walt Whitman assignment that will lead them to a stunning epiphany. Caroline is sharp-witted, guarded, and sardonic, and Anthony is athletic, sensitive, and popular, but as they debate ecstatic poetry, life and love, youth and mortality, they discover they are more connected than they may seem. A luminous play from America’s most-produced playwright Lauren Gunderson, I and You is a genuinely funny, deeply moving ode to all the unseen ways we are connected.
