A Note from Jean Yarger

The vision for the Village Gallery of Arts, as laid out by the founders, is as important today as it was 60 years ago. May be more so. The Village Gallery of Arts not only provides local artists with a venue for sharing their creations. It is a diverse organization focused on sharing the importance of art in the greater community. As Edward Hopper put it, “If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.”

Since joining The Gallery, I have met so many talented, remarkable, people. I would, however, like to take this opportunity to thank Brenda Honeyman. She has been a wonderful mentor. I will continue to rely upon her expertise and am looking forward to welcoming many new members in 2024!
