COMPOUND YELLOW

IS AN INDEPENDENT, MULTI-FUNCTIONAL ARTIST-RUN SPACE AND ARTISTS' RESIDENCY

Compound Yellow is a non-profit 501(c)(3) experimental art space supporting independent cultural production, participatory projects, and interdisciplinary explorations. Composed of a group of artists, curators, educators, creative thinkers and engaged citizens, Compound Yellow hosts exhibitions, interventions, performances, workshops, lectures, gatherings, and collective imagining. We want to celebrate a culture of sharing, connecting and collective action!

The vision of Compound Yellow is that the future artist-run space is a mushroom–a self-sufficient and highly adaptable life system that brings visible and invisible vitality and interconnectedness to all that it touches and supports.

Compound Yellow is run by a generous, collaborative group of local volunteers. We are always happy to accept help and participation whether through facility maintenance, installation assistance, event management, or public communications. If you’d like to volunteer please don’t hesitate to reach out.
