“I set the stage. The artists are the performers.”
That’s the way Ruth Roider describes her vision for Gallery for the Arts, which opened on July 8 at 115 S. Main St., Ada. The gallery serves two purposes: as a place for local artists to display and sell their creations and as Roider’s own working art studio.
THE GALLERY WILL BE OPEN FROM 5 TO 7 P.M. ON FRIDAY DURING MUSIC ON MAIN – FOR VIEWING ONLY.
Roider, a retired elementary school art teacher, and longtime community supporter, says her art gallery is one way that she can support local artists and contribute to the community.
