The Cuyahoga Valley Art Center invites the public to its Student & Faculty Exhibition

Cuyahoga Valley Art Center presents its highly anticipated annual Student & Faculty Exhibition, displayed from October 29 to December 6, 2024. This prestigious exhibition showcases the remarkable talent and creativity of its diverse community of artists.

The annual Student & Faculty Exhibition has been a cornerstone of the CVAC exhibit calendar for decades, providing an invaluable platform for students and faculty members to display their artwork in a supportive and collaborative environment. This year’s exhibition is a celebration of artistic expression, featuring a wide range of media, styles, and techniques.

“We are thrilled to host once again our annual Student & Faculty Exhibition, which serves as a testament to the vibrant artistic community here at CVAC,” said Danielle Dieterich, Executive Director of CVAC. “This exhibition celebrates the talent, dedication, and creativity of our students and faculty members, and we are excited to share their artwork with the wider community.”

The annual Student & Faculty Exhibition, made possible in part by the generous support of The Vijay Rastogi Memorial Fund, will feature a People’s Choice selection process. This process will allow attendees to vote for their favorite artwork, with the fund supporting cash prizes for the winners. The Vijay Rastogi Memorial Fund, honoring the legacy of Vijay Rastogi, a cherished former Board member and dedicated advocate for the arts, plays a crucial role in funding these awards during the exhibition.

“We are deeply grateful for the support of the Vijay Rastogi Memorial Fund, which not only enables us to recognize and celebrate the talent within our community but also supports the cash prizes awarded during the exhibition,” added Danielle Dieterich. “This exhibition is a testament to the power of art to inspire, uplift, and unite us, and we look forward to sharing it with our community.”

The celebration and recognition of these talented individuals will take place at the Artist Reception on December 6th from 5:30 PM to 7 PM. The event provides an opportunity for artists, students, faculty, and community members to come together and celebrate the culmination of the year’s artistic achievements. The reception will be free of charge and open to all patrons. Attendees will have the opportunity to mingle with the artists, indulge in delightful refreshments and hors d’oeuvres, and even purchase remarkable pieces of art. Awards will be announced at 6:30 p.m. at the event.

As part of the exhibition, CVAC will introduce the Artistic Evolution Awards, a new initiative aimed at celebrating the growth and development of students throughout the year. CVAC’s faculty shall select award recipients, recognizing students who have demonstrated significant progress and evolution in their artistic journey, embodying the values of dedication, exploration, and growth that define the CVAC community.

The annual Student & Faculty Exhibition at the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center is an extraordinary exhibit that highlights the immense talent and creativity of CVAC’s visual arts community. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness captivating artworks and to engage with the artists themselves.
