Thank You for Making 2025 a Year to Remember!

As we reflect on this past year, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible support that made 2025 such a success. Your generosity—through contributions, volunteer time, and in-kind gifts—has strengthened Yeiser Arts Center’s mission to inspire creativity and connect our community through the arts.

Because of you, we were able to present engaging exhibitions, host educational programs, and create spaces where art and community thrive. Every donation, every hour volunteered, and every resource shared has made a meaningful impact.

From all of us at Yeiser Arts Center, thank you for believing in the power of the arts. We look forward to continuing this journey together in 2026!
