Description

The UMBRELLA Arts Center has been transformed into a dynamic, state-of-the-art center for artistic expression and enjoyment keeping with their mission to “enrich lives and build a vibrant community through the arts.”

The new performing arts center includes two new theatrical spaces along with a set design shop, green room and theater support. State of the art film projection equipment is installed in both the main stage and black box theaters.

It also houses two large classrooms, a multipurpose “maker’s space” and additional flexible space for computer labs, printing and fiber arts. This additional space allows greater immersion into S.T.E.A.M.-based educational programming (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) by placing greater emphasis on “artist” activities (creative, intuitive, inventive and imaginative).
