The Umbrella Arts Center is honored to host an afternoon of Panel Discussion, Slides, and Conversation with Koichiro Isezaki, Jeff Shapiro and Tim Rowan about their work and careers. We will be examining the intersections of these artists' work and the tradition of Bizen pottery through their friendships, collaborations, and varied apprenticeships. The panel discussion will be moderated by Judith Schwartz, writer, curator and Professor Emeritus of Art History at NYU.  This discussion will culminate with a visit to the Gallery. 

Please join us at the Gallery for the Opening Reception of Bizen Revisted on Saturday November 5, 3-5pm. We will be joined by Jeff Shapiro, Tim Rowan and Isezaki Koichiro. 

It was a joyous and profound opening for Unadorned: Paul S. Briggs. Thank you to everyone who came out to the Gallery, with some coming as far as South Africa and Florida! Unadorned: Paul S. Briggs will be up through July 9th

We had such a wonderful weekend celebrating Three Sculptors with Patti Warashina, Anne Currier and Ashely Lyon. Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Gallery reception and Artist Talk at Concord Academy. The show will be up through June 4th—come see this historic exhibition in person! 

Lucy Lacoste Gallery who has shown the internationally renowned ceramic sculptor Arnie Zimmerman several times over the years, announced with sadness the passing of the sculptor at his home in Hudson New York on July 29, 2021. He was 66.

Congratulations are in order as we celebrate the acceptance of Robert A. Ellison Jr. private collection to the Met! 

This is a huge coup for the ceramic community, and we could not be more thrilled to share the news!

Congratulations to Beth Lo and Jennifer Datchuk on their feature in The Boston Globe.

We are thrilled for you!

Now more than ever, it’s important to go beyond saying we stand with oppressed communities. We must take measurable actions.  We do agree that if we are not part of the solution, we are part of the problem.
