Ruth Roiter says "Stop in and visit the Gallery."

There's a weekend open house in Ada and you are invited.

Ruth Roiter's Gallery for the Arts, 115 S. Main St., will hold an open house from 4 to 7 p.m., Friday, April 8, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, April 9.

The Gallery features original works by Ada artists and artisans.

Roiter said that visitors will be served wine and munchies on Friday. On Saturday will be coffee, juice and breads. In addition a collection of Gallery items will be raffled.

When Roiter opened the gallery she described its purpose this way: “I set the stage. The artists are the performers.”
