​I enjoy Art by the Falls for its beautiful location and the friendly volunteers who help us unload, answer questions, and give us a short reprieve so we can grab a quick bite. These little touches make the show! I love my weekend in Chagrin Falls! – Susan W. - ABF Jeweler
Art by the Falls is successful because of our amazing volunteers!

 We have opportunities for booth sitters, attendants at the Welcome, Raffle and Children's Tents, grounds workers and much more! ​
 
Get involved as a family and log some community service hours!
Valley Art Center invites kids 12-15 to sign-up with a trusted adult (parent/family friend/aunt/uncle/grandparent) and teens aged 16-17 are welcome to sign-up on their own! Look for our designated kids and teen volunteer opportunities!
VAC requires a liability waiver for all kids aged 12-17. VAC partners with local school districts for community service hours.

For 38 years, volunteers have made Art by the Falls a ‘must attend’ show for artists and art lovers alike. It is our amazing group of volunteers who provide that warm Chagrin Valley welcome through every facet of the show from helping artists, to keeping the park beautiful and supporting our special events. As we return to Riverside Park in 2022, check out the ways you can jump in and get involved! Email us with any questions! ​

What is your gift?

Good with your hands? Good with your head? Good with people?

We have many opportunities, so when you are available to volunteer, chances are we have meaningful ways for you to contribute. Let us know if you'd like to drop in for a day. We always have one-off projects, including mailing, filing, printing/finishing, data entry, or painting. Do you like the idea of being one of our regular volunteers? We have ongoing projects such as database management, archiving.
Important volunteer opportunities​
