Emerson Umbrella Center for the Arts

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

Built as a high school in 1929 and the town’s first steel-beamed structure, Emerson School has long been an important historic and architectural landmark in downtown Concord, MA. The building served as a public school for more than five decades before it was deemed obsolete and insufficient for a growing student population. In the early 1980's, thanks to a group of Concord volunteers and visionaries, the building was spared from demolition and converted into a community arts center. The non-profit organization provides studio space for more than 50 artists, classes and workshops for kids and adults, an art gallery and a theater with 435 seats.
