The Cuyahoga Valley Art Center invites the public to its inaugural Fine Art Photography Exhibition

Cuyahoga Valley Art Center (CVAC) is proud to present the Fine Art Photography Exhibition, a juried showcase celebrating the creativity and talent of photographers from across our region. On display from December 8, 2026, to January 21, 2027, this dynamic exhibition highlights the breadth and diversity of contemporary fine art photography, featuring work across a range of curated categories: Abstract, People, Nature, Urban, and Wildlife/Animal/Pet.

This is a juried exhibition. The juror will select a Best of Show, as well as a Best of Category and up to two Honorable Mentions for each of the five categories. With over $1,200 in cash prizes awarded, this exhibition is a testament to the skill and creativity within our vibrant arts community.

Join us for a celebratory Artists Reception on January 15, 2027, from 5:30 – 7 pm, where we will announce the People’s Choice winners and honor all award recipients. This free event is open to the public and offers the perfect opportunity to meet the artists, enjoy refreshments, and perhaps even take home an inspiring piece of art.
