Event Description

In Residence: Katie Fee, Sayako Hiroi, and Ivo Makianich. Featuring work by Umbrella Arts 2025/26 Artists-in-Residence in the Wedge Gallery

“A year ago I had no studio, and without one, I was effectively unable to work. Umbrella Arts gave me a room, and that single material fact changed the work more than any decision I made.” - Sayako Hiroi. Showcasing a selection of work from our 2025/26 Artists-in-Residence cohort, the exhibit explores the development of their artistic processes over the past year, examining what takes shape when you can give your art practice a home. The space and time made possible by the Umbrella Arts residency gave each artist the freedom to develop their art organically, without the pressure to arrive at a result. Drawing on the tensions between presence and absence, the physicality of the artist’s studio, and Umbrella Arts’ commitment to community, In Residence is a cumulative celebration of the cohort’s work that demonstrates the rediscovery and reclamation of their art.

Timothy Wheeler House: A History of Care for Concord Elders
The Timothy Wheeler House, a Greek Revival home with a distinctive columned portico and gabled roof, has housed the Concord Home for the Aged since 1887. It was named for Timothy Wheeler, who owned the site and the land across the street where he operated a grist mill.
What I Have Done for the Good Cause
This is the story of a letter that survived time to link together a centuries-long quest for liberty, a group of red-hot abolitionists, a British woman cloaked in scandal, and a Concord house tied to the Underground Railroad. Written by Senator Charles Sumner in 1860 and making its way to Concord via Barrow Bookstore, the letter leads one to ask, “What would you do for a cause in which you believed?”
