A Rain of Talent: Umbrella Art is an exhibition of umbrellas designed by a diverse group of artists, including sculptors, architects, ceramists, painters, and fabric artists. Each participant was given a plain umbrella to use as inspiration, and the resulting exhibit is a collection of various lighthearted and playful interpretations of a seemingly banal object. The exhibition originated at the Fabric Workshop in Philadelphia, and is the work of guest curator Patterson Sims (curator of modern art at the Seattle Art Museum) and the Fabric Workshop ’s founder and artistic director, Marion Stroud.
