The Story of Yonder

Yonder is a brick-and-mortar storefront and creative space in Algoma, Wisconsin. Co-founded by Don Krumpos and Erin LaBonte in 2019, Yonder is run by artists dedicated to enriching the regional and local art experience through mural arts, workshops, exhibition opportunities, puppetry performance and more.

Rooted in storytelling, materiality, and community, Yonder exists at the intersection of the deeply personal and the collective narrative. Through sculpture, ink, wood, found objects, and performance, artists explore the symbols, myths, and histories that shape us. The work traverses the realms of folklore, femininity, and the surreal, balancing the raw with the refined, the absurd with the intimate.

Yonder is an evolving experiment–one where art is participatory, where creativity is a conversation, and where every object, every mural, every performance is an invitation to engage with the world in a new way. Whether through public art, immersive storytelling, or the hand-wrought and deeply personal, Yonder is a space where the past, present, and mythic converge to create something alive, something seen, something felt.
