Opening Reception-June 3, 2024, 5-7pm

Ray Abraham Yoder taught art and oversaw the art curriculum in the Waynesboro schools for 30 years, (1945-1975). He made art education his life-long mission. Even after retirement, his passion for bringing art to people of all ages continued for the rest of his life through painting workshops and his famous“ painting vacations” where he took students into the woods and fields and showed them how to capture on canvas what they saw around them.

In addition to his art, there will be interpretive panels about his life. Yoder was originally from Indiana. He came to Waynesboro just after WWII where he worked and lived for the rest of his life.
