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

“I think if I had to put a finger on what I consider a good education, a good radical education, it wouldn’t be anything about methods or techniques. It would be loving people first.” — Myles Horton

Turning on the lights to open for the day has us pausing with a quote curated into the current exhibition - one of several hovering high on the walls, over doors and windows. By the great Myles Horton, founder of Highlander Center, these words articulate our own thoughts on education.

We are here from 12-7pm today. Come on through if you are needing inspiration or conversation or a corner of quiet.

We are back in the House today, but still riding h

We are back in the House today, but still riding high from the sweetness of Evidence of Life this past Saturday. Neighbors, artists, families, curiosity seekers, educators, care givers, and strangers-now-friends gathered in the lovely, often-neglected, historically important Main Street Park to create, learn, and linger.

Guided by our own Rion and Elai - and a mighty team of helpers - a beautifully diverse community of folks experienced printmaking, poetry, story telling, and mutual aid. Mostly, we loved on each other - a lot! It was life giving.

Thanks to Tim Gilmore, whose Teach-In was 🔥! And hearing @reignsupreme_jax give voice to the writings of James Weldon Johnson and Zora was SO good. There was such truth and power in all the words spoken into the mic at the center of the circle.

And deep bows of gratitude to our friends at @jaxmutualaidcollective, who made sure all who entered the park left with sustenance and gestures of care. Y’all are the best of us!

The final EOL gathering is October 10, where we will do more of this AND reveal ALL the art created over the past few months. Thanks for the support @placemakingjax as we honor the people, places, past and purpose that are evidence of life.

THIS Saturday Evidence of Life is back at Main Str

THIS Saturday Evidence of Life is back at Main Street Park in Downtown Jax, so that’s where we will be. It is a special spot in our city and it is an honor to make art and relationships in a place of historic significance and real under-appreciated beauty.

We invite you to get inky as we add to the collective printmaking installation with new words, images, and energy created by YOU. And this week’s Teach-In features our friend Tim Gilmore. Our partners @jaxmutualaidcollective will be present, taking care of all of us with food, books, and more.

What’s the vibe? Swipe through pics from past programs and you’ll see.

It’s free and for ALL. It runs from 11am-1pm. You can pop in our stay for it all. The weather promises to be beautiful!

Big love to the project’s leaders Elai (@ee.leech) and Rion (@toothfairybratprince) and our volunteers and printmaking assistants. Thank you to @placemakingjax and @vystarcreditunion for believing in the power of art and the humanity of artists to uplift our public spaces.

This work by Hillary Hogue is a stunner and getting up close and personal reveals new worlds. See this and other works of art by some of our community’s finest teaching artists TODAY from 12-7pm. And rumor has it that Hope, Rion and Elai will be working in the print studio. We would love to see you.

Abundance. Hope. Love. Mercy.

It was a sweet at 🏡 today. Also heavy. Friends spontaneously wanted to get inky in the studio - words on their minds. Other friends were grieving loss of family. Hugs from those we’ve missed and laughter with first-time visitors. Hard conversations about harm in other beloved spaces. And the Community Cart was full when we opened - generously filled by - we don’t know. And the art held it all.

Thanks to all who graced our space. We hear you, see you, love you. 💛
