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 for the next Film Club meeting on Wednesday, August 19 at 7pm. We will be discussing the selected film, Sweetie (1989).
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.
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!
Interested in receiving feedback on your work? The Writing Club will be hosting Critique Night once every other month. Our next Critique Night is Tuesday, September 15 at 7pm.
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.
