Yestermorrow Profile:
Art Schaller, Instructor and Board Member
This March marks Art Schaller's ninth year as a member of Yestermorrow's Board of Directors. And that means Art has reached the end of his third and final Board term and gets to take a well deserved break from board meetings, but not from Yestermorrow where he has taught since 1990.
In his nearly two decades at Yestermorrow, Art has made many important contributions including launching our successful remote program at Ball State University in Indiana, and our much lauded work on the Lakota reservation in South Dakota in the mid-1990s.
Art has taught many classes here at Yestermorrow over the years, and continues to offer the ever-popular Rustic Furniture workshop each June.
In addtion to his teaching and Board of Director duties at Yestermorrow, Art currently serves as Head of the Division of Architecture and Art at Norwich University. He has a particular interest in the remodeling and reuse of old structures and in using recycled or found materials in his art. In our book, Art Schaller is found art. Many thanks! |

Greetings!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making Yestermorrow's current fiscal year its best year yet for fundraising.
Your generosity helps us better achieve our educational mission and opens our doors to more and more students who need a little help to benefit from a Yestermorrow experience. And it makes it easier for staff and instructors to do the good work in the community that separates Yestermorrow from other educational facilities.
So thanks again to all those who gave this year. And to those who are considering a gift there is still time to hit the donation button, use the return envelope from our catalog or simply send us a check. Your generous support will always be put to good use.
Thank you all,
Bob Ferris
