The Umbrella Arts Center

"What's Going On Here? Liminal Spaces Where Art and Nature Intersect" featuring work by Linda Booth Sweeney, Linda Ziemba &amp; Jamie Collins.
Opening Reception: June 10, 3 - 5 PM (<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc2vivRk56gnqKqiTmcyvKM-u7l8_Dpv75rS3_DGt_8Xb6klA/viewform?usp=dialog" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">RSVP</a> appreciated) | Exhibition Dates: May 29 - June 28, 2026
Join us for light refreshments starting at 3 PM and an Artists' Talk at 3:30 PM. Families and children welcome. This event is free and open to all.&nbsp;

What’s Going On Here? is a three-part, immersive installation that transforms The Umbrella Arts Center into a living, breathing work of art—one that draws its energy from liminal spaces: vernal pools, backyard edges, cracks in city sidewalks… places where something unexpected is always about to happen.

Through habitable sculpture, photography, sound, and story, the lawn and the Wedge Gallery become a sequence of spatial, visual and sensory encounters that invite visitors to enter, pass through, and dwell, not just observe.

Linda Ziemba composes space through Habitable Sculpture such as L' Arc, creating environments where ideas spark, stories surface, connections form, and conversations carry beyond the moment.

Linda Booth Sweeney, a systems designer and writer, brings the narrative spine of The Noisy Puddle, a children’s story rooted in wonder, interdependence, and the surprising richness of small worlds.

Jamie Collins, a graphic designer and photographer, captures vivid portraits of macro life and uses photography in his exhibit Patio Life as a way to ponder the natural world, asking questions such as: “Why is the wasp eating the wood chair?”

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.
