SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Ancient Light and Inspirational Jam
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a joint opening reception celebrating The Umbrella’s winter exhibitions\, Ancient Light: Celestial Photography by Marsha Wilcox and Inspirational Jam: Paintings by Carl Ristaino. RSVP appreciated. Admission is free and the galleries are open to all. Explore additional programming and learn more at TheUmbrellaArts.org/current-exhibition \nAbout the exhibitions: \nAncient Light: Celestial Photography by Marsha Wilcox | The Allie Kussin Gallery | January 12 – March 22\, 2026 \nCelestial photographer Marsha Wilcox has been passionate about outer space since her childhood when her father taught her about celestial navigation. Like so many before her\, Marsha has wondered about the cosmos: its beauty\, mystery\, and immensity. \nAncient Light invites you to look up and explore the worlds beyond our own. Through long-exposure photography\, Marsha is able to capture the night sky high above Concord. What will these celestial bodies tell us about ourselves? How can we reconnect with our past\, present\, and future by connecting with the cosmos? \nInspirational Jam: Paintings by Carl Ristaino | The Wedge Gallery | January 26 – March 29\, 2026 \nWorking in acrylics\, Carl Ristaino’s imagination comes alive through dynamic jazz scenes and whimsical cityscapes. He builds layers of bold color that capture the transcendence of live music and fantastical worlds. In his jazz series\, Ristaino’s canvases become stages where musicians lean into their instruments\, vocalists throw their heads back in ecstatic song\, and the audience communes over the pleasure of spontaneous creativity. His paintings don’t just document performance; they are improvisations themselves. \nRistaino’s Ancient Cities take us to unknown\, and yet familiar\, places. He combines castles and pirate ships with UFO’s and ancient pyramids to build a world of pure creativity. Each Ancient City invites the viewer to imagine a new story and to look closely at the canvas\, and within themselves\, to discover new corners of imagination.

SUMMARY:The Umbrella Concert Series in partnership with Salt Lick Incubator presents Salt Lick Sessions
DESCRIPTION:The Umbrella’s expanded Concert Series in partnership with Salt Lick Incubator showcases some of your future-favorite musical acts that have emerged through the Salt Lick program. Each concert spotlights the incredible talents of tomorrow’s groundbreaking artists\, creates support and lets you say you knew them back when! Featuring: Olivia Barton\, Carter Benjamin\, and Kieran Rhodes. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nOlivia Barton writes songs that walk the line between unfiltered and refined. With reverence for the craft of songwriting\, Barton writes and sings like she speaks: unapologetic\, yet approachable\, turning crowds into confidants. Having shared stages with Lizzy McAlpine\, Madi Diaz\, Field Medic\, Searows\, Annika Bennett\, and others\, her songs carry what folk music has always carried: emotion\, memory\, simple truth. \nAn indie/alternative artist blending folk\, gospel\, and soul-infused rock\, Carter Benjamin’s music is rooted in storytelling\, exploring themes of identity\, resilience\, and belonging. From his upbringing in Grand Cayman and DC to his bold\, genre-defying album Black Boys on the Radio Part II\, Benjamin reclaims space for voices too often left out of the conversation. \nKieran Rhodes is a piano-driven pop artist and songwriter whose music blends timeless melodies with sharp lyrical storytelling. A Berklee College of Music alum and America’s Got Talent standout\, Rhodes gained viral attention with his original song “Disengage” and further recognition when his song “What Got Into You” was featured in Netflix’s Virgin River. He has opened for artists including JP Saxe\, Ben Abraham\, and Five for Fighting\, and performed at major festivals like Boston Calling.
