Valley Art Center is the hub of the visual arts in the Chagrin Valley, providing local communities with art classes, art exhibits and fine art shopping for almost 50 years. Each year, we offer over 400 classes workshops and summer camps for students, from children to seniors, who range from beginner to seasoned professional. Explore drawing, painting, ceramics, printmaking, sculpture, photography, jewelry, metalwork, textiles, and more. Our gallery hosts 5 exhibits annually with curated, invitational, and juried shows. Our calls to entry draw local, regional, and national artists from the Cleveland area and beyond. Our gift shop and gallery host hundreds of unique original pieces of art for sale, from functional to flashy, at a wide variety of price points. We stage several local events each year as well, including Art by the Falls fine art and craft festival, which annually brings thousands of visitors to Riverside Park in Chagrin Falls, on the banks of the beautiful Chagrin River.
