About Umbrella
Umbrella is a creative marketplace that connects extraordinary artists with the people who want to experience their work firsthand. Whether you're looking to book a private pottery session, hire a photographer for golden-hour portraits, or discover a hidden jazz performance in a candlelit speakeasy. Umbrella makes it effortless.
We believe the best moments happen when talented creators and curious audiences come together in unexpected places. That's why we pair artist bookings with curated experiences and hidden-gem locations, turning ordinary days into unforgettable stories.
From ceramicists in Red Hook to sushi masters in San Francisco, Umbrella brings together a diverse community of creatives spanning photography, dance, music, comedy, fashion, culinary arts, yoga, tattoo, and far beyond.
Our mission
To make art accessible, personal, and unforgettable. We're building a world where anyone can step out of their routine, connect with a working artist, and walk away with a memory, or a skill, they'll carry forever.
What we value
Creativity first
Every decision we make starts with the artist. If it helps creators thrive, it's the right call.
Radical access
Art shouldn't live behind velvet ropes. We bring world-class talent to anyone willing to show up.
Curated, not cluttered
We handpick every artist and location so you spend less time searching and more time experiencing.
Community over transaction
We're building lasting relationships between artists and audiences, not one-off gigs.
