The time has come to celebrate the The Yards's new and beloved mascot, Jean Jacket the Pigeon! From a frightful rescue, an unlikely comeback, and now with a story to inspire—this little bird really strikes love into our hearts! Over the past couple of weeks, Yards members and supporters alike have taken pencil to paper and churned out some lovely tributes to JJ and his story.

Join us for a family-friendly reception on Sunday, November 27th from 2-6pm. Starting the 19th artworks of Jean Jacket will be displayed alongside items available in our annual Virtual Silent Auction.

If you haven’t met Jean Jacket yet... he is our wonderful studio pigeon who stole our hearts this year. This showcase of artworks will pay tribute to the model, the muse, the beautiful baby bird.
