Valley Art Center presents our 50th Annual Juried Art Exhibit. Artists living within a 250-mile radius of Chagrin Falls are 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. The art is juried to approximately 60 works in painting, drawing, fiber arts, jewelry, sculpture, photography and more! Over $1,000 in cash is awarded for Best of Show, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Place and several community sponsored awards including the Stan and Hope Emerling Watercolor Award and the Phyllis Lloyd Memorial Award for Abstract Painting.
