Winter Exhibition & Art Sale

The Cuyahoga Valley Art Center invites the community to view our Winter Exhibition & Art Sale, on display from January 21st–March 5th

This exhibition is looking to showcase the talents of participating artists during these chilly winter months. The subject matter of the artwork does not have to be related to winter. CVAC is simply seeking to reveal the breadths of interests and investigations from our participants recent paintings, sculptures, ceramics and works on paper.

The juror of this exhibition, Chelby Benson, selected which submissions would hang in the exhibition.

The People’s Choice selection process, kicking off January 21st and running through February 21st, shall dictate the Best of Category and honorable mentions for each of 7 the categories of this exhibition. Awards will be distributed as the winners are celebrated during the Winter Exhibition’s Artist Reception on February 21st from 5:30-7:00 PM. Patrons will have the opportunity to mingle with the artists, enjoy refreshments and hors d’oeuvres and purchase art during this free reception.
