"The exhibition might provoke dialogues on how community solutions, in partnership with NGOs, can help combat climate change and biodiversity loss."
- Miguel Jeronimo

Points of Return has made headlines in the Cambodian publication, the Phnom Penh Post! This feature looks at the work of Lisbon-born photographer Miguel Jeronimo, whose work in Points of Return documents former illegal poachers turned dedicated forest rangers.

INSPIRE THE FUTURE OF THE ARTS

Whether you’re a longtime Umbrella patron, a student exploring and discovering your art, or a new member of our community, you know firsthand the power of the arts. And you make it possible.

We’re closing in on our goal for this year but we need your help to get there. Given recent inflation and high utility costs, this year earned revenue covers just 50% percent of expenses. Contributions from donors like you make up the critical difference.

Every gift helps us serve the needs of our growing community including tuition assistance, reduced ticket prices, and free programs year-round for the entire family.

The arts are a powerful catalyst and your support can enable them to thrive.

Make your gift today to qualify for our 40th Anniversary Season match sponsored by The Umbrella’s Board.
