The Cuyahoga Valley Art Center is proud to present its inaugural Fine Art Photography Exhibition, a juried showcase celebrating the creativity and skills of photographers from across our region. This dynamic exhibition highlights the breadth and diversity of fine art photography today, featuring work across a range of curated categories: Abstract, People, Nature, Mixed Media, Urban, and Wildlife/Animal/Pet.

This exhibition was established in memory of Jonathan Donald Kuhns*, whose passion for photography and visual storytelling continues to inspire. With the generous support of his mother, Louise Miller Harvey, this exhibition serves as a tribute to Jonathan’s legacy, while uplifting the voices of today’s practicing photographers.

Visitors are invited to explore the selected works and cast their vote for the People’s Choice Awards, which will be announced during the Artist Reception on Friday, January 16, 2026, from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. This free event offers an opportunity to celebrate the artists, mingle with fellow art lovers, and enjoy refreshments and hors d’oeuvres in the heart of CVAC’s gallery. $1,300 in cash prizes will be awarded, including one overall Best of Show, and Best of Category’s, and People’s Choice Awards (one for each category).

Join us in honoring Jonathan’s legacy and supporting the vibrant and ever-evolving photography community through this meaningful and inspiring juried exhibition.

*This exhibition was established in memory of Jonathan Donald Kuhns, through the generous support of the Jonathan Donald Kuhns Memorial Fund, a donor-advised fund at Akron Community Foundation.
