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

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.

We are OPEN TODAY from 11am-2pm. Immerse yourself

We are OPEN TODAY from 11am-2pm. Immerse yourself in the art, poetry and stories of mutuality in our newest exhibition.

Art pictured is by the brilliant and kind Jason John, one of the teaching artists featured in ‘Reciprocal’.

We don’t really do much for 904 Day, but maybe we’ll print this up.

Pink has to be the color - in honor of our Rep @angieforfl, who has been attacked for her Duval dialect, one that most of us in the Yellow House family proudly speak. We’re also channeling Dolly and her ease with expressing how y’all means all.

And yellow, there has to be atleast a dash of yellow. 💛🩷

"Working with your hands, keeping your mind engage

"Working with your hands, keeping your mind engaged - these are the tasks of being human - and they are the best defense against the problems we face.”

These words were written by artist, professor, and mentor Andy Kozlowski as part of our current exhibition. And we fully agree. To create and discern in these times of chaos is essential.

Come see our newest exhibition today to find inspiraton, gather information, and reflect on those who have poured into you. There is even a spot for you to leave your mark.

And it is still our anniversary week (yay!), so we are feeling especially grateful. Some come on through between 12-7pm for a dose of truth, beauty, and hope.

We are celebrating our 9th Anniversary and we are

We are celebrating our 9th Anniversary and we are as surprised as anyone that we are still here doing what we do! Mostly we are grateful to the community that has shaped this place - artists, teachers, healers, neighbors, agitators, farmers, justice seekers, truth tellers. To all who have made your mark THANK YOU!

The work is joyful and heavy, always evolving, never dull, and filled with hope. We are still creating a place of belonging, where freedom of expression is central, community care non-negotiable, and diverse stories are shared every day.

And we do not take a single week of existence for granted. The times we are living in are tough - we know you know. But that is not new, even in our nine years. We were born of fire and we are fueled by its threat and potential. And your continued engagement - whether you are near or far - means everything.

We look forward to the coming months of art, activism, and love. We will not be marching toward 10 years quietly! Thanks, y’all. 💛💛💛
