Join us for the launch of a very exciting collaboration: Picture Book x Yellow Studio Pop-Up.

About

Picture Book is an independent bookstore curated by Sara Davidson Johns, an art world veteran and mom. The shop’s thoughtful selection makes it easy and fun to find something special. You can browse the Picture Book edit of kids books, new fiction, art books, cookbooks, and more on the website www.picturebookny.com.  

The first physical location of Picture Book opened inside the co-working space HudCo in Dobbs Ferry, New York in October 2020 and we are thrilled to open our second location in Yellow Studio in Cross River, New York in October 2022. Yellow Studio, with its co-working, art gallery, and artist residency will be a wonderful opportunity to showcase Picture Book’s collection of monographs, exhibition catalogues, and other coffee table worthy art books that highlight the work of women artists. The shop will be installed in the Lounge and the Attic of Yellow Studio with books for kids and adults to browse.
