The Yeiser Art Center (YAC) was founded in 1957 as the Paducah Art Guild to promote appreciation and creativity of the visual arts. It began as a tiny volunteer group led by Mary Yeiser, Ginny Black, and Bob Evans. YAC now has a permanent exhibition space and a collection of approximately 300 pieces. The center provides visual art workshops for both children and adults, as well as gallery discussions and artist lectures. They now have a full-time executive director and three workers. YAC also offers a great volunteer program and a supportive membership program. More interesting reads.
