20/01/2015Carpark Creatives launch @ the Laneways

The corporate sponsorship from the Lancini Group funded this major project that began at the end of 2014. The Carpark Creatives Laneways project commissioned the student artists to design and paint four large panels, now installed in the carpark of City Lane. Hannah Murray facilitated the project and provided art mentoring for young artists in our studio space. Next time your at City Lane, check it out!

06/01/2015Look whats happening at the Gallery!

Umbrella Studio is looking stunning in 2015 with over 17 meters of plasterboard covering the entire west wall and a fresh coat of paint throughout the entire gallery space. The solid wall gives the illusion of spaciousness and a much bigger space. Install will be a much easier process and the artwork on display will be enhanced. Our first exhibition, Diamonds Uncut will launch our beautiful renovated space, made possible by our successful fundraising efforts in 2014.

Umbrella Studio acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians, the Gurambilbarra Wulgurukaba and Bindal people of the lands and seas where we operate. We pay respects to their elders past, present, and future.
