They have new artists coming in every two months and all of them will be women and/or LGBTQ artists. It was a free show to attend and on the first day they had light bites and drinks. It felt like attending a friend's art showing. It was very intimate and sweet. This place also doubles as a meeting place and photo spot. You can check out https://linktr.ee/yellowhouserva to rent the Yellow House for a photoshoot or a meeting. To rent it for a photoshoot it's $100/hr with three hour minimum. To rent it for a meeting, it's $100/hr with two hour minimum. If you read more about this space online, you find that "Yellow House was created to be a gathering place for people to have thoughtful and meaningful conversations in mind." Which matches the feeling I had when I first entered the space. I'm excited to see more of their art shows in the future.

Small but lovely art gallery, with a large framing business. I haven't used the framing services…read moreyet, but have purchased 3 lovely paintings for our home. The gallery features art from a variety of local and national artists, mostly florals and landscapes, with a smattering of portraits and abstract paintings. If you love poppies, this is the place for you! The owner is very helpful and wants his art customers to be committed to a piece before purchasing. He brought several paintings to our house to see how they would work in our space and lighting. That made a huge difference - the paintings we thought would be perfect were not the ones we ended up buying. The only reason for 4 stars vs 5 is that I'd like to see a bit more variety in the art, and the quote for a frame for a painting we purchased seemed to be a bit high, although the frame and liner the owner suggested was perfect. Highly recommend this business.

This seemed like a nice place to rent for a small event. the show was cool. the comedians were all up and coming. some funny, some still working on material. we had a good time though.

I've had some friends have their art here, it's wonderful how they support local artists. They also have live shows with local musicians too. While they do have paid memberships for co-working and social club benefits, they do open it to the general public from time to time. They also do private events. I went to a wedding in December here. It was a lovely venue for an intimate wedding. I found it strange that they decided to paint the walls the same morning of the wedding though. I did love having the chance to explore the different floors. Their interior design here is gorgeous. They offer a game room with a pacman game and pool table, a cigar lounge, coworking spaces, a bar and an art gallery. I love how unique each room is too. I would highly recommend checking this place out.

The original people at the hull st location were open minded, lended opportunity to artists and accepting of freedom to create. Now seems like opportunity is limited for who they deem generically safe according to their personal likes and not in a free artistic one. Very expected themes and works, very generic now. Maybe they are more geared now to a very conservative buying crowd in this new area? I don't know. . I liked the warmth and artsy feel of old one with the original people, I dont know who runs it now, but not my cup of tea anymore. Oh well, everything changes, I am sure others like the change, my opinion only, i just dont feel that "warmth and acceptance" since they changed.
