Update as of 07/23/2026
The City of Cuyahoga Falls is improving our public walkways by renovating the stairs that connect the public parking lot on Riverfront Drive to the sidewalk on Front Street.
To access the second floor of CVAC from the public parking lot, please enter through the mural wall door and turn right to find the back staircase that leads directly to the gallery classroom.
There is also a ramp on the far north side of the public parking lot by Portage Trail Rd that connects the parking lot to Front Street.
During construction, a portion of the public parking lot may be temporarily closed or roped off.
If you plan to park in one of the three free public parking decks, you’re welcome to drop off your supplies or artwork at our front door before parking. If you need assistance, just give our front desk a call. We are happy to help!
