Valley Art Center is proud to present the 37th Annual Art by the Falls, a free two-day, outdoor juried fine arts and contemporary crafts festival. The show features approximately 120 painters, potters, jewelers, wood workers, fiber artists, and other fine craftspeople.

Additionally, visitors young and old will enjoy live music, entertainment, and delicious fare provided by food trucks. The Nonprofit Village area assembles local and regional organizations to share their resources. Visitors can experience the process of art making at our Demo Tent, featuring many of Valley Art Center’s professional instructors. Our Children’s Tent gives young artists a chance to contribute their own vision to a community art project, and participants will receive a ticket for a chance to win a portion of the project. Patrons can buy raffle tickets at the front of the park in our Raffle Booth for a chance to win original works of art donated by every artist in the park.

Riverside Park, located in the middle of historic Chagrin Falls, on the banks of the Chagrin River, is an ideal setting for an outdoor festival. The expansive park overlooks two waterfalls and is situated on the village’s charming main street. With ample parking, visitors can stroll the downtown area, which holds a wealth of restaurants, galleries, and fine shops. Chagrin Falls is the perfect place to spend a summer day.

On Saturday evening you can keep the party going with the Chagrin Arts Annual Music Crawl, an event filling the night with live local music throughout the entire town.
