Valley Art Center invites you to join us in experiencing our 50th Anniversary Juried Art Exhibition. Artists living within a 250-mile radius of Chagrin Falls were invited to submit artwork for consideration to this prestigious annual exhibition. Each artist may submit up to 3 pieces in any art medium. Historically we have received approximately 300-400 pieces of artwork, including 2-D and 3-D. Over $2,000 in cash is awarded for Best of Show, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Place and several community sponsored awards.
The exhibition will be on display through through December 15, 2021. Free and open to the public. |
