Featured Events in Mobile County in 2025 (June Updated)

Join us on Wednesday, January 8 from 5 to 7PM at The Yellow House as we welcome Beth Anne Booth for her January and February art installation. We encourage guests to walk around the space, Beth Anne challenges you to breathe in the art, remain curious, and embrace the present moment. Wine & charcuterie will be served. About the Artist: Beth Anne Booth underwent a life-changing experience after receiving a double-lung transplant on June 14, 2024. An elevated perspective matched with a surge of creative energy gave rise to the Breathe series. This body of work is the creative response to the feelings, thoughts, and overall experience Beth Anne embodied from the time she received The Call that she had lungs, to the First Breath that she took with her donor’s lungs. Bold applications of colors and textures coupled with energy and movement symbolize the continuous waves of emotions Beth Anne faced throughout her recovery. Modern medicine, community, gratitude, love, healing, nature, strength, spirituality, and the power of the present moment are the themes that she channeled throughout the creative process. This style of painting is centered around the present moment, and the actions that come from the freedom of surrendering to “the now.” With that awareness comes the significance of the breath, and its power as the driving force behind the art making, and, ultimately, it’s the source for life. “While my experience is unique in that most people will not have to undergo a double-lung transplant in their lifetime, I believe we all share in the feelings associated with challenges and experiences that stir up fear, pain, grief, and anxiety within us. That’s part of being human. What we do with those feelings and experiences is up to us. There is an overall “lightness” that can be felt when we open up to those we trust and share what we are going through. Most of the time, the other person can relate to the feelings, even though their circumstances may be entirely different. My art is an expression of shared feelings. Painting is a medium I embrace for processing and reflecting life’s gradient of experiences. Painting is where I meet “Beth Anne.” Information Source: The Yellow House RVA | eventbrite
