Ruth Roider opens Gallery for the Arts

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, July 9, 2015

“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.
