BUY THE MISSION

Yellow House is fully committed to giving space to artists, poets, and activists who speak truth to power, with the hope that we can be part of the change. We are grateful to all who have engaged with us, especially when it is hard, messy, and unpopular. The artists captured in this brief video are just a few of the powerful examples of members of our creative family shining a bright light

Intersections of art and mutual aid was the topic

Intersections of art and mutual aid was the topic of the presentation, conversation, and collective creation. The end result were posters built from the symbols of care - bread, nature, quilts, hands, hearts, swirls of energy, hope. And these are analog AF. More importantly were relationships formed or deepened. And we had a blast.

Big love to our comrades at @jaxmutualaidcollective for making this special evening possible AND for the work you do week in and week out.

All we have is each other. 🍞🌱🙏🏼🏠🫍💛

One of the beautiful pairings of mentor and mentee

One of the beautiful pairings of mentor and mentee in our current exhibition is between two remarkable artists and human beings - Sheila Goloborotko and Rachel Brown. When you read their statements below you will see that the mutuality isn’t only evident in their art, but also in life itself.

“I think reciprocity is ultimately about care. It is an understanding that nothing exists alone—that we affect one another, depend on one another, and have responsibilities to one another. The relationships that
have most deeply fed my work are the ones in which something continues to circulate: knowledge, curiosity, generosity, labor, questions, and care.

Rachel was first my student, and over time that relationship has grown into something much more layered. The exchange has never moved in only one direction…She reminds me that mentorship is not simply about passing something from one generation to another. We change one another.”- Sheila

“To me reciprocity is the steadfast push to create, pause, and think together. It’s easy to put the pencil down and ten times harder to pick it back up, I find myself caught in the anxious confines of what to do next and how I can create the most powerful messages I need to express. A few nudges here and there from the right people and we find the willingness to try... I’ve developed so much respect for Sheila as an artist and even more as a person. She has taught me the value of doing rather than saying and I am so excited for where the future takes us next.” - Rachel

We are OPEN TODAY from 12-7pm. We would love to see you.

Monday evening we are talking art, mutual aid, and

Monday evening we are talking art, mutual aid, and ways to build a movement of care. We will also create a collaborative poster in the printmaking studio. Everyone in the house will learn how to carve a block and print letterpress - together.

We are so grateful to be part of the Jax Mutual Aid Collective family and hope you will join us. The event is free, but if you can bring something for the Community Cart (food, hygience items, harm reduction, period products, art supplies) they are certainly needed and welcome.

We are open today and loving the beauty and contem

We are open today and loving the beauty and contemplative nature of this stunning drawing by Keegan Freeman. Come view this drawing, the show-stopping art of their mentor Jacob Z Wan, and works by 14 other pairings of artists.

We’re here until 2ish and then shift into our first ART OF DISSENT class on Käthe Kollwitz.

School is back in after a long weekend when we mar

School is back in after a long weekend when we marked the important contributions of workers. It’s a perfect moment to provide a glimpse into a powerful work of art by one of the 20th century’s most important artists and activists, Käthe Kollwitz.

This is the first in a new series of educational moments lifting up the Art of Dissent. And this one serves as a teaser for this Saturday’s talk by Hope McMath. Come be part of the conversation around free expression, creative resistance, and the central role education plays in the public square - led by someone who gets it, about an artist who has been her life-long inspiration.

Details for Saturday’s program are on the last slide. And if you want to know more about Kollwitz’s work, check out images and audio from @themuseumofmodernart website - including content created by Arlette Hernandez who was a previous Fellow at Yellow House who is now part of the MOMA education department.

We are excited to launch a new Yellow House experi

We are excited to launch a new Yellow House experience that weds our passion for art history, our interest in learning together, and our desire to build a more just world. ‘The Art of Dissent: Lessons in Creative Resistance’ will explore individual works of art, artists, and movements that have provided inspiration, information, and portals for change. This is school, Yellow House style.

We will use social media to share examples - past and present - on a weekly basis. But we also want to be in community, so we will gather at Yellow House every month or so to explore this rich content with you and a spectrum of speakers.

The first of these gatherings will be facilitated by Hope McMath on a topic close to her heart: the art and life of Käthe Kollwitz. This is printmaking about purpose, power, and perseverance.

The presentation and conversation will start at 3pm sharp this Saturday at Yellow House. We are offering these sessions for free, but welcome donations to support our own artistic freedom.
