About Umbrella Social

Welcome to Umbrella Social – A Growing Community for Creativity & Connection

Right now, Umbrella Social is just a website, a blog, and a dream. But dreams have power, and this one is growing every day.

Our vision is to create a space where people can gather—through words, art, and shared experiences. A space where books, coffee, and creativity come together to build something bigger than just a store.

Where We Are Now

  • An online home for creatives – A blog filled with inspiration, book recommendations, and reflections.

  • A dream in the making – We’re planning our first pop-up events within the next few months.

  • A place for stories & conversation – Our goal is to foster a space where people can connect—whether online or in person.

Where We’re Headed

  • Pop-Up Experiences – Soon, you’ll be able to grab a book, sip coffee, and join us at in-person events.

  • Curated Book Selections – Thoughtfully chosen books, including new, used, indie, and local authors.

  • Live Events & Gatherings – Open mic nights, book clubs, and creative workshops are all part of the plan.

  • A Future Storefront – One day, this dream will have walls, shelves, and a door that’s always open to our community.

mission

At Umbrella Social we believe in the power of gathering - through words, arts, and shared experiences. Our space is a haven for creativity, connection, and emotional well-being, where stories - whether read, written, or spoken - bring people together. We exist to inspire, uplift, and foster a sense of belonging in an ever-evolving community.

Vision

Our vision is to cultivate a dynamic, welcoming space where creativity and community thrive. We see Umbrella Social as more than a place - it’s a movement redefining what a gathering space can be. As we grow, we aim to expand beyond Butte County, inspiring communities everywhere to embrace storytelling, self-expression, and shared experiences as a path to deeper connection and well-being.

For now, we’re taking it one page, one post, and one step at a time. Thank you for being part of this journey.
