Let’s begin our journey by shaping the vision for the upcoming year!
2025 feels big – let’s set the stage and manifest our biggest and boldest dreams and goals.
Join YAM in studio for a two hour immersive workshop led by Sarah Cotton Nelson of High Flying Strategy and Jade Johnson, studio Co-Owner, to lean into this year!
The first hour will combine gentle movement (yoga) and breath (pranayama) with writing prompts to reflect on 2024 and open ourselves to our desires for 2025.
The second hour will be spent crafting a visual reminder of what you want to attract into your life in 2025.
We will provide board, glue, magazines, markers, misc crafting items.
Please bring:
– an open mind/heart
– an adventurous spirit
– a journal or notebook & pen (optional)
* You can also bring whatever you may have on hand to use yourself or share – including a pair of scissors! 🙂
We have mats, blocks, bolsters and blankets. Come dressed prepared for movement and lounging on yoga mats.
Don’t worry if you don’t have some BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) in mind yet, we can use movement, music, mediation, community – we’ve got it all at YAM – to help get those creative juices flowing.
Investment: $55
Return on Investment: That’s up to you 🙂
The community is invited to attend as we will welcome two new artists with a reception on October 5 from 5 PM-7PM.
YAM is thrilled to announce the continued collaboration with White Rock Artists’ Studio Tour. The tour, held October 12 & 13 will celebrate its 31st year of East Dallas artists opening their private studios to the public.
Rounding out the initial schedule of installments with WRAST Collaboration is the Tour coordinator Sharon Shero is a photography / photomontage artist. Perhaps it is in spite of growing up in the blue-collar, south side neighborhoods of Chicago, that the artist is drawn to subjects that are pastoral and fantastical. Although seemingly gentle topics, the city’s crusty influence simmers beneath the first-glance, skewing approach and final outcome.
Shero’s work has been exhibited in many solo and group shows throughout Texas.. Sharon graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Bachelors of Science degree in Architecture, and holds a Minor in Psychology from the University of Illinois..
Alexis Ikemba is studying Studio Art and Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin. In the art studio, her media of choice are oil paint and charcoal. In the past, she has shown her work at the C.C. Young Gallery Exhibition and at the Afro-Art Festival in 2020.
She has also created two online comic series and illustrated the cover for one of the quarterly publications of The Modern Green Book. In her continued pursuit of a career in art and activism, she enjoys working as a muralist at the Creative Action Chroma Collective in Austin! Outside of school and work, Alexis enjoys dancing for Texas Ballet, being a member of Gamma Rho Lambda—the first co-ed LGBTQ+ Greek organization at UT and playing intramural soccer with her friends!
