The Cuyahoga Valley Art Center invites the public to its inaugural Fine Art Photography Exhibition
Cuyahoga Valley Art Center (CVAC) is proud to present its inaugural Fine Art Photography Exhibition, a juried showcase celebrating the creativity and talent of photographers from across our region. On display from December 9, 2025, to January 22, 2026, this dynamic exhibition highlights the breadth and diversity of contemporary fine art photography, featuring work across a range of curated categories: Abstract, People, Nature, Mixed Media, Urban, and Wildlife/Animal/Pet.
Juror Tim Fitzwater has selected a Best of Show, as well as a Best of Category and up to two Honorable Mentions for each of the six categories. With $1,300 in cash prizes awarded, this exhibition is a testament to the skill and creativity within our vibrant arts community.
In addition to the juror’s selections, visitors are invited to participate in the People’s Choice Awards, by casting a vote for their favorite pieces. Voting is free and runs throughout the exhibition, with the winners announced during the Artists’ Reception.
Join us for a celebratory Artists Reception on January 16, 2026, 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.
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.
Join us in honoring Jonathan’s legacy and supporting the vibrant and ever-evolving photography community through this meaningful and inspiring juried exhibition.
