The Community Art Show

Sept. 15 - Oct. 16, 2025

The Community Art Show is a non-juried exhibition celebrating the diverse creativity of the greater Cleveland area. All local artists – students, professionals, and amateurs – are invited to submit a single two-dimensional (wall-hanging) artwork. If that artwork meets the criteria below, your work will be included in the exhibition.

Opening Reception
Wednesday, Sept. 17  |  5 - 7 p.m.

Criteria for Submissions

• Artists may submit only one artwork, which must be no larger than 24 inches in any direction.
