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

This is going to be special! ‘Reciprocal: An Exhibition of Art, Mentorship, and Mutual Influence’ opens on August 29 a day we also celebrate our 9th Anniversary.

Yep, school is in session and we are honoring the special relationship between teaching artists and their students. More than a transference of knowledge and skill, these partnerships grow deep through time, reciprocity, dynamic exchange, care, and mutual respect.

15 pairs of artists and poets will fill the spaces at Yellow House with individual works of art and the stories of their connections to one another. This exhibition amplifies just a few of the special bonds—born in the classroom and beyond—between mentors and mentees that have shaped our city’s cultural universe.

Reciprocal also serves as an invitation for all who visit to reflect on the impact of teachers on their lives and the foundational importance of arts education in our personal journeys and in the forming of a more vibrant, beautiful, and just world.

It is with deep intention that we open this exhibition on the 9th Anniversary of Yellow House. We have evolved an idea into a place, where art, reciprocity, and free expression play a central role. In the words of the great bell hooks, a foundational writer in the mission of Yellow House and the relationship between the co-curators for this exhibition, “education is about the practice of freedom.” We are grateful to the artists represented in Reciprocal and the community that has supported us for the past nine years.

Join us for Opening Night on August 29 from 6-8 pm.

It’s HOT and our neighbors walking, riding or living out here need water for comfort, but also for their survival.

We finally have a simple system that helps avoid plastic bottles, keeps the cooler from walking away, and has an ease of maintenance for our team.

It’s small, but it’s something. 💧 #leavenoonebehind

We are starting today as we do most days, adding fresh produce to the Community Cart and sharing a cold drink with our friend Louis as we work together to keep our corner looking good.

Each day is A LOT right now. So, don’t forget to pause and drink in moments of sweetness when they appear. 💛🩷❤️

It’s the final day for the ‘Silence Unraveled’ exhibition at Yrllow House, featuring the words of @bobbie.j.oconnor and the art of a dozen brilliant artists. Women refusing to be silent, despite it all, is a theme in this show and in our personal and civic lives today. So, come see us from 12-7pm or join us for a closing program with @bobbie.j.oconnor, @barbaracolaciello, and @hopemcmath starting at 6pm.

As always, we are free and for all. 💛

The polls are open in our corner of the world. While the electoral system is flawed - for sure - we can still exercise this foundational right while working for progress.

Vote for the needs and dreams of your neighbors and you, too, will be considered in the marking of your ballot. Vote, because there are folks worthy of our support. Vote, because there are electeds who need to go. Vote, because there is work to be done. Vote, because you still hope. Vote, because you can.

Wednesday is the FINAL day to see the exhibition 'Silence Unraveled' and we are inviting you into the ritual of witnessing, looking, and listening- one last time.

We're closing with a conversation between Bobbie O'Connor, Barbara Colaciello, Hope McMath, and YOU. We will talk about the process of weaving lived experiences into words on a page, into performance on a state, into art on the walls, and into collective healing. This closing 'circle' will center Bobbie reading excerpts from her one-woman performance - giving us all inspiration to find our voice.

The event is free and we will have a bit of nosh to tide you over. We are open in the hours leading up to this final program for view ing the exhibition and grabbing your seat. We will begin promptly at 6pm.
