Immerse Yourself in a World of Color and Creativity at Umbrella Sky Newport @ Brick Market
Prepare to be dazzled by an extraordinary outdoor art installation coming to Brick Market in Newport. Umbrella Sky Newport, produced by ArtScape, will unveil its captivating display of over 500 colorful umbrellas magically suspended in the sky. This breathtaking installation promises to create a magical haven for the community and visitors alike, casting sun-kissed shadows through a canopy of floating umbrellas onto the pathway of the tree lined street flanked by eclectic shops.
The location on Goddard Row will be transformed into an enchanting realm where art comes to life, encouraging engagement and awe-inspiring experiences not to mention opportunities for great selfies. As part of the vibrant atmosphere, live music performances by local artists will grace the scene every Saturday and Sunday, infusing the air with melody and rhythm. Additionally, future art and craft shows will be announced, adding to the allure and variety of this captivating art project.
Umbrella Sky has gained international recognition, having been featured in renowned publications such as Architectural Digest, Travel + Leisure, and Vogue. While this mesmerizing art installation has delighted audiences across Portugal, Spain, France, Japan, and Bahrain, it has now arrived in New England for the first time, making its home in the picturesque city of Newport, Rhode Island.
Umbrella Sky Newport will be open to the public starting June 17th and continuing through October 5th, inviting all art enthusiasts, locals, and tourists to explore this magnificent creation. It is a remarkable opportunity to witness the convergence of color, creativity, and community in a truly magical setting.
