Yellow: An Art Pop-Up is a multidisciplinary art experience that connects artists and audiences through mail and media. This isn't like any other virtual show as there is no instant gratification here. Instead, there is the suspense that your grandmother felt as she awaited a letter from her long lost lover. Twenty-five extraordinary artists from across the globe have created artwork inspired by the colour yellow.

Who is JAM?

Hello! We are Jill Goranson, Alexa MacDougall and Michael Derworiz, or as we like to call ourselves: JAM. We are art lovers and art makers who started Art Pop-Up with the hope of bringing together a community of artists that could practice the craft of creating. The three of us previously developed one night only experiences that featured new-works created by Tkarón:to/Toronto based artists. Now, we are transferring that practice online to include internationally based artists and audiences. Art Pop-Up reflects on creativity through multiple mediums including: theatre, dance, visual arts, music, poetry and design all inspired from a single, unifying colour prompt.
