Though construction was completed some time > ago, the hope was to be able to bring everyone together in person to honor > Allie Kussin, former Board Chair of The Umbrella, in whose honor the gallery > is named. > > > Friends and family gathered in advance of the Jordan Kessler opening to > remember and recognize the profound impact Allie had on the organization and > our greater Concord community. Gregory Maguire and Andy Newman penned a > tribute for the occasion, sharing “Allie was gifted with unusual capacities > of openness, of curiosity, of willingness to be swayed, of ability to listen. > ...she steered the Board of the Umbrella through the treacherous months and > then years of advocacy, fund-raising, construction, negotiation, > peace-keeping. She kept to her mission with a smile and a steadiness .... It > is in that memory that the Main Art Gallery at The Umbrella is being named > the Allie Kussin Gallery at The Umbrella Arts Center.” Please come by and > join us in perpetuating the support and spirit of its namesake. > > Pictured: Allie Kussin (above, right); Rebecca Purcell, Fritz Kussin, Josh > Froelich (above) > > > > > "This [show] tells a different story...people will be surprised by some > details that they didn’t know were always part of it." > > > Thanks to the Boston Irish Magazine > <https://e.wordfly.com/click?sid=MjA0MF8yMDQ0XzIyODE5XzcwOTg&l=b77f3922-0f6a-ee11-a832-0050569d9d1d&utm_source=wordfly&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NewsletterOct12&utm_content=version_A> > for their feature on LIZZIE's Nora Sullivan!
