NoPa artist co-op has everything from paintings to jewelry.. Small, well-lit, and inviting, Big Umbrella Studios seems more like a friend's lower-level apartment than an art gallery. With tile floors, a small fireplace, and a dog that greets guests at the door, Big Umbrella doubles as both a gallery and a studio for the 20 artists who show their work here. While most of the pieces--ink drawings, oil paintings, jewelry made from recycled metals--sit safely on the side of accessible to the common art enthusiast, some of the work are a bit too esoteric/bizarre. The collection rotates on a semi-regular schedule, which usually falls around the second Friday of each month. Join the party, drink some wine, eat some cheese, and dig the DJ.
