Big Umbrella Studios

We are so excited for the Divisadero Art Walk this Thursday! Our current show, Spiritual Architecture Part II, features the work of Chris Adams, Owen Brown, Enzo Callot, Lynda Hirose and Mikmoi. The evening will be co-hosted with our friends at The Passion Company, a community based program that helps people find and follow their passions. There will be lots of music, dancing and refreshments until 10 pm! https://www.facebook.com/events/815222765203827/

the arts are linked to broad measures of innovation and development suggesting the arts can play a larger role in economic development irrespective of metro size or geographic boundaries of city and neighborhood. http://www.citylab.com//why-cities-cant-afford-to-/383298/

Storm Update: Big Umbrella Studios will be closed today due to weather conditions. We will be open tomorrow afternoon!

Dear friends, we are rescheduling the Divisadero Art Walk to next Thursday, December 18th from 5-10 pm due to the storm. As much as we'd like to see you tomorrow, we want you to be safe and warm!

Our opening night on Friday and Brunch party on Saturday will continue as planned!
