BUY THE MISSION

change

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

While we push back against harmful and regressive

While we push back against harmful and regressive policies in Florida, may we also find ways to bridge the gap. While we share books on the regular, with hundreds of books flowing in and out of @yellowhouseart, we are super Excited to be partnering with our honored to partner with our friends and collaborators at @904wardjax on their Free Little Diverse Libraries.

Too much pain. Too much loss. Too little courage

Too much pain. Too much loss. Too little courage to change. We must do better.

We can't wait to welcome this exhibition, this art

We can't wait to welcome this exhibition, this artist, and you into our space. Opening night is February 4 from 6-8pm. Free, as always. We are closed until then, but here is a glimpse of what is to come.

“As an artist I seek to provoke thought, educate, and create change. A TIME TO BEAST is about transcendence, pushing forward in the face of adversity, and lifting up aspects of Black identity and womanhood. It is also an acknowledgement that social ambiguities are rife in American culture and many of its systems. This body of work references manifold experiences including the Covid 19 pandemic, environmental issues, economic disparities, social injustice, anti-black legislation, and the fact that we still perform and have joy. And, still, we rise.” - Traci Mims

It is an honor to collaborate with Traci Mims, painter, printmaker, mixed media artist, educator, and activist on her solo exhibition at Yellow House. We have long admired her skillful renderings, her potent messages, and the prolific nature of her work resulting in an oeuvre that is timeless and responsive, specific and universal, pensive and powerful, humble and courageous. Often centering her own image, Mims asks us to not only contemplate the challenges and brilliance of her existence, but also how she is a reflection of society. She asks us - demands of us - to look closely. Though Mims invites us to contemplate and feel alongside her and the other people she channels through ink, paint, and graphite, these are not artworks intended for neutral, passive engagement. A TIME TO BEAST is an urgent plea - a provocation - for us to be informed, to truly see, to persevere, and to take action.

Check out the link in our bio for more about the show, the artist, and to learn about upcoming programs and hours. Until we reopen our space, we will see you in the streets, in conversation, in community.

Jax, you showed up today and we had a blast. Sooo

Jax, you showed up today and we had a blast. Soooooo many first-time visitors, many offerings for the mutual aid space, a shelf of books adopted by readers young and seasoned, and beautiful conversations, all with @jordyfangz at the center of the energy. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We’ll see you for the opening of a new exhibition on February 4th or out in community.
