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

So much love, care and community flowing in and ou

So much love, care and community flowing in and out of Yellow House yesterday. Our comrades from @rivercityvanguard made hotdogs, grilled cheese, and spaghetti lunches for nearly 100 folks from the neighborhood and for visitors to the exhibit - who all became one big family on this day (because WE ARE). Lots of art looking, kids painting and sketching, sharing hopes and worries, giving, receiving, breaking bread together. RCV also distributed mutual aid items including period products, condoms, plan-b, and more. And we made sure fresh produce and books left with everyone.

DEEP GRATITUDE to RCV for serving up love with abundance. And to all our visitors - long-time and new friends. All of us sharing simple sustenance - in all its forms - without any other agenda is truly beautiful! 💛💛💛

TODAY is our sort-of-monthly Community Potluck & Food Share with our good friends at @rivercityvanguard. They bring a hot lunch for anyone who drops by and we’ll have expanded mutual aid offerings including food, books, hygiene items, and art supplies for the kiddos as we transition into summer. And Yellow House is open for you to take in our current exhibition ‘Pressing Matters’. 💛❤️🖤✊🏼✊🏾

The break in the rain allowed us to fill up the Community Cart, restock the Little Free Diverse Library, and receive a visit from some of the kiddos in the neighborhood. They wanted to talk about Uvalde and Sandy Hook and couldn’t believe every school mentioned in Cat’s art installation was a place where young people were gunned down.

How do we heal? What must we do? Where can we be safe? We have to start by doing what we can, where we are at, with what we’ve got. For us that is community care, free expression, teaching truth, holding space, sharing sustenance, finding joy.

Thanks to our good friend and collaborator Vanessa at @femmefirebooks for this latest donation to our free library. Octavia Butler. Yes. She holds some of the answers.

We are open today from 11am-2pm and are honored to share the exhibition ‘Pressing Matters: Installations by Enlivened Spaces Students at UNF’ with you. It is a powerful pushing back against the attempts to censor education and silence youth voices.

One of the most moving installations is by UNF Cat Palacios. “I invite viewers to reflect on gun violence through the lens of lived experience. The mock classroom setting is transformed into a battlefield where the lives of children and their educators are ultimately at stake. My work challenges inaction, seeks to unite communities, and encourages the desire for proactive change. The artwork allows us to come together and examine our collective pain, fear, and empathy. It is not a solution but an invitation to consider the impact gun violence has on our world and how we can work towards ending the cycle.”

See the entirety of this and 10 other artful installations at Yellow House today. We are the antidote. 💛💛💛
