What We Do

Welcome to Umbra Arts, a QUEER artist and events space that celebrates local Twin Cities-based queer and LGBTQ+ artists of all mediums. We’re a new community-centered space focused on creating a community where you can grow, thrive, and connect with an audience that truly appreciates your work. Sound like your vibe? Here’s what you’ll unlock as part of our community:

Exclusive Gallery Space

Secure your own dedicated space in our gallery, giving your art the perfect stage to shine for as long as you need. It’s all about showcasing your work to an engaged, supportive audience.

Commission Rates

We take a 35% commission on all gallery wall art sales and merchandise sales. These contributions help support the collective's ongoing operations, ensuring we continue to thrive as a community.

Expand Your Online Presence

You’ll get your own feature on our professional website, broadening your reach beyond the gallery. Select pieces might even be merchandised online and in-store, opening up more streams of exposure and revenue for you.

Dedicated Marketing & Promotion

We’ve got your back with dedicated marketing support—emails, texts, social media campaigns—to promote your gallery work, individual shows, and events. We’re committed to amplifying your art in all the right places.

Earn Extra Income with Community Classes

We encourage all our artists to host community art classes in the gallery. It’s a great way to engage with the local art scene while earning extra income and sharing your creativity with others!
