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 Angie Nixon, 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. 💛🩷

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. 💛💛💛

What a night! We kicked off our 9th Anniversary week with a high-energy, loving opening for ‘Reciprocal’. If you couldn’t make it out, no worries, there were times we could not have fit one more body in the building.

Deep gratitude to who all came out to lift up the artists, the conversations around support for arts and education, the importance of free expression, and the existence of Yellow House.

And to the Yellow House family of folks who make the magic happen, despite the chaos around us - you really are the best!

This exhibition - the art, the narratives, the poems, and the interactive reflective writing/typing space, the inspiration - is up until Nov. 4. Come on through this Wed 12-7pm or Sat 11am-2pm to see the show and help us celebrate NINE YEARS all week long.

And we’ll share more pics and more stories in the coming days. (But that last pic, IYKYK).

The work moves behind the scenes as we tend to the installation of a new exhibition. We will gather again at the Opening Night of 'Reciprocal' on August 29th - which is also our 9th Anniversary!!!

Mutual aid will still flow to and from the Community Cart and our Little Free Library will be full and ready. See you soon! Stay engaged, make some art, speak out, and be well.

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. 💧

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. O'Connor 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. O'Connor, Barbara Colaciello, and Hope McMath 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.
