About Us
Yellow Collective was founded in 2020, initially as an online platform dedicated to fostering conversations about contemporary art and the practices of emerging artists. From the outset, our mission has been to create more inclusive and accessible pathways into the art world-encouraging open dialog, inviting questions and allowing audiences to connect directly with artists.
In May 2023, we expanded into a physical space, where we have since been running a dynamic and diverse program of exhibitions, talks, workshops and other events. We believe that art should be an accessible and inclusive space, where people can connect with contemporary artistic discourse spontaneously and without barriers.
We collaborate with independent curators, artists and cultural spaces to create interdisciplinary projects that highlight new ideas and voices within the artistic community.
Stephanie Wruck
Co-founder and Creative Director of Coletivo Amarelo, Stephanie was exposed to the world of contemporary art at a young age. Visits to museums and galleries were regular activities growing up and cultivated a deep interest in her to pursue a career in the art world. Her experience as an art consultant at an art gallery in New York City showed her the current state of traditional art gallery operations. She found the environment to be cold and often disconnected from the public. It was in the midst of this process that the idea of Coletivo Amarelo emerged: an attempt to transform the way in which the artist's work is studied, represented and promoted.
Stephanie seeks more inclusive and experimental curatorial experiences in the art world and it is through Coletivo Amarelo that she promotes a deeper and more open educational dialogue.

She lived for six years in the USA, between the east and west coasts and during this experience she immersed herself in artistic practice, developing as a painter.
