Yost Art Gallery

Walter Yost, accomplished artist and teacher was committed to sharing his artistic skills and education with others.

Born on the same farm on which he lived southwest of Atchison, Kansas, Mr. Yost attended Atchison schools and graduated from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1939.  He spent the next two years painting 12 murals for the University's Museum of Natural History before returning to his family's home to engage in farming. Permanent collection includes photographs, paintings, which were gifted to the gallery or were bought.
