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.
$50K for 50 years Fundraiser
Valley Art Center was founded in 1971 by a small, but inspired group of artists. The culmination of decades of organizing, working together, teaching classes in homes and small rented shops, and a common mission of providing excellence in art education to the Chagrin Valley. As we approach our 50 year anniversary, we are asking for your support to maintain that legacy for another 50 years. For more information on how you or your business can get involved and show us some love, click the 50th Anniversary logo below, and thank you.
