What is the Umbrella?
Located next door to our administrative office in the historic and culture-rich Central District neighborhood, The Umbrella is our hub for small group in-person programming, community workshops, and band practice space. Our goal is to invite people in to create new things, learn from each other, and to continue to nurture our music and social justice community. We are thrilled to be able to offer this programming space to our community as a resource and to continue to connect and grow together for folx of marginalized genders, both youth and adults. We cannot wait to see you next door.
