Since June 2025, Loaf on Paper has been a cozy stationery and café space in the heart of Williamsburg, built for calm and creativity, a place to journal, sip coffee, and discover a small treasure to take home. It offers a thoughtfully curated collection of Japanese paper goods, craft supplies, and unique lifestyle items, alongside specialty coffee and seasonal baked treats. Now, in collaboration with Yellow Studio, a community-driven art gallery and creative hub, that spirit is moving to the walls.

Whimsy isn't about being silly for silliness's sake. It's seeing the world sideways, finding wonder in the ordinary. As Yayoi Kusama put it: "Polka dots are fabulous."

That's the spirit we were seeking: artwork that plays, that surprises, that lets curiosity lead.

All selected artwork is original, whimsical artwork, 12 x 12 inches or smaller, priced at $500 or less. 

Submissions will be accepted from October 7 to 21 via Artwork Archive.

The Gallery at Yellow Studio presents Life Still, a group exhibition featuring Noa Charuvi, Allison Green, Marie McNicholas, Lily Morgan, Sophie Reisz, and Lindsey Cherek Waller, on view October 24 through November 29, 2026. Bringing together painting, sculpture, and installation, the exhibition approaches objects and interiors, some of art history's most enduring subject matter, from a distinctly contemporary viewpoint, nodding to the traditional format while asking what we notice and what we value. Join us for an opening reception on Sunday, November 1, from 4 to 6pm. 

These artists turn their attention to things that are easily passed by or dismissed: household wares and garments, sequins, discarded and mundane objects, unfinished architectural spaces, and a single radish or a wedge of blue cheese. Some works draw directly on history. Reisz looks to seventeenth century Dutch and Flemish still life painting, Waller works within the traditions of still life, and memento mori, and Green draws on folk textile practices such as quilting, embroidery, and dressmaking. Others extend the idea of still life into new territory, from Charuvi's paintings of architectural sites and interiors to McNicholas's juxtapositions of discarded objects and nature to Morgan's accumulations of reflective, synthetic materials. In their hands, an overlooked object or an empty interior becomes a way into larger questions about memory, value, and how we relate to one another.

Please RSVP to the opening reception below. All are welcome to join us in celebrating the Artists and supporting our creative community.
