Have you been to a rockin’ New Year’s party? A wild wedding? A dinner party that would make Gatsby envious? A party can be a bash for five hundred people, an intimate dinner for two, or a solitary dance in the living room. Parties bring together those we love and those we hate, or maybe a stranger who can change your life in one night. If you have a story about a party, we want to read it.
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're after: artwork that plays, that surprises, that lets curiosity lead.
We're calling for original, whimsical artwork, 12 x 12 inches or smaller, priced at $500 or less. Any medium is welcome, as long as it feels light, imaginative, and true to your voice.
Join us on Friday, August 21 at 9:30am for Mindfulness Club: Rest & Receive.
In a world that constantly encourages us to do more, August offers a different invitation: to pause, breathe, and simply receive. Together, we’ll explore the restorative power of slowing down, noticing what’s already present, and allowing ourselves to rest without guilt. Through mindfulness, reflection, soothing, guided meditation, and gentle connection, we’ll create space to receive the peace, clarity, and abundance that often reveal themselves when we stop striving and simply...are in the present moment.
This Critique Night on Wednesday August 26 at 6:30pm will be a pressure free, supportive space to share ideas and get inspired. It’s completely okay if you don’t have anything concrete to bring for this gathering. You can also bring a question or issue related to art or art business that you would like the group to help with.
New York, I Love You: a love letter to a state that defies a single picture.
The New York of city blocks and country roads, of the Hudson at dusk and the Adirondacks at dawn.
This is New York in full: the glitz and the grit, the hustle and the hush, the overlooked and the unforgettable.
The bodega roses and the wildflowers growing through the guardrail on the Taconic. The street corner that changed everything and the vista that took your breath away. The New York you moved toward and the one you couldn't leave behind.
Fourteen women and non-binary artists. Painting, works on paper, textiles, and photography.
All work is available for purchase and made to live with.
Once monthly we dedicate space and time for writing in the Gallery. We’ll use the first hour for writing, followed by discussion. If you’re interested in turning your thoughts into words–but struggle to put pen to paper–these accountability sessions are a great way to get started!
The Gallery at Yellow Studio presents "Traces of the Infinite," a small group exhibition featuring the work of Helena Palazzi, Soli Pierce, and Lara Saget, on view September 12 through October 18, 2026.

Join us on Saturday, September 12 for an artists' talk at 3pm and an opening reception from 4 to 6pm.

Join us for Book Club at Bedford Books on Thursday September 17 at 6:30pm. We will be discussing Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt by Ben Reeves. There will be lively discussion, questions posed and answered and time to connect with fellow YS Members.
September has a way of inviting us forward. A new season begins to stir, familiar routines return, calendars start to fill, and some of us may find ourselves standing at the beginning of an entirely new chapter. Amid all that movement, there is a quieter invitation too: to return to ourselves. To pause, feel our feet beneath us, take a deeper breath, and remember that we don’t have to meet the energy of a new season by rushing into it.
Join the YS Nature & Sustainabilty Club at the Herb Fair & Market on Saturday September 19 at Caramoor!
