Featuring a diverse array of 58 remarkable pieces, this year’s exhibition offers a vibrant spectrum of artistic expression. From classical tastes encompassing oil paintings and landscapes to avant-garde sculptures pushing the boundaries of creativity, there is something to captivate every art enthusiast. The 52nd Annual Juried Art Exhibition at Valley Art Center is a celebration of artistic diversity, a testament to the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art. We invite all art enthusiasts to explore this fusion of visual and literary artistry.
Returning this year is the partnership with Heights Arts, culminating in the Ekphrastacy – Artists Talk + Poets Respond event scheduled for December 1 at 6pm. The current Cleveland Heights Poet Laureate, Siaara Freeman, and a cadre of accomplished poets are guiding this creative exchange of visual and spoken word artistry.
Together, they will craft and recite poems directly inspired by the captivating artworks on display at the 52nd Annual Juried Art Exhibition, weaving a harmonious tapestry of artistic expression. “Ekphrastacy at its core is an interactive art process,” says Siaara Freeman. “It is a chance for artists to become familiar with one another’s work alongside the opportunity to explore new mediums and methods of creation.” The tradition of the Cleveland Heights Poet Laureate, conferred by Heights Arts, continues to thrive as the longest-running poet laureate program in the state. Ekphrastacy – Artists Talk + Poets Respond event, as well as the Opening Reception, are free to the public.

Author Signing: Jennifer Boresz Engelking
2023-11-12 13:00 - 15:00 | Fireside Books, 29 North Franklin Street, Chagrin Falls, OH, 44022, United States
Jennifer Boresz, author of Lost Lake Erie, will sign books on November 12th from 1-3 pm.
ABOUT THE BOOK: As the site of Cleveland’s Great Lakes Exposition, the lake offered visitors a respite from the Great Depression, and Hotel Victory, once considered the world’s largest summer resort, drew thousands to Put-In-Bay. Daring postal workers dangerously crossed the ice-covered surface on hybrid “boats” and by foot. Canal Street, at the Buffalo Wharf, was once called “the Wickedest Street in America.” The Erie is one of thousands of ships that lie in a solemn graveyard below the surface. And rum runners turned the lake into a watery highway for illegal booze during Prohibition.
Author Jennifer Boresz Engelking reveals entertaining, heartbreaking, and nostalgic stories of the lost sites, businesses and industries of Lake Erie.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jennifer Boresz Engelking is the author of Lost Lake County, Ohio and Hidden History of Lake County, Ohio . She is a Cleveland State University graduate and award-winning and regional Emmy-nominated writer who has been published in Echoes Magazine, the News-Herald and Lake Erie Living, among others. She was a reporter at CBS stations, in Toledo, Ohio, and Erie, Pennsylvania, and has written and coproduced historical documentaries aired on PBS. Jennifer was born, raised and still resides in Lake County, near the shores of Lake Erie. Her website is www.jenniferboresz.com.

Elf, The Musical - Encore!
2023-11-17 08:00 - 17:00, 2023-11-18 14:00 - 17:00 | Chagrin Valley Little Theatre, 40 River Street, Chagrin Falls, OH, 44022, United States
In 2022, CVLT broke box office records by selling out the entire run of “Elf, the Musical” before the curtain had risen on opening night! Audiences raved, but many were disappointed at being unable to get a ticket. This year for Christmas, we’re giving you a gift: Buddy is back! CVLT presents this encore production with many of the cast returning, including John Kolar in the title role.
Adapted from one of the most beloved modern Christmas movies, “Elf the Musical” transforms the story (originally a vehicle for actor Will Farrell) into a theatrical holiday treat for the whole family. “Elf” features songs by the Tony Award nominated Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin (Disney’s Aladdin on Broadway, The Wedding Singer) and a script by Tony Award winners Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone). The New York Times called it “splashy, peppy, sugar-sprinkled holiday entertainment!” and Variety said “ELF is happy enough for families, savvy enough for city kids and plenty smart for adults!”
Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s production runs weekends from November 17 through December 17, with performances on Fridays, Saturdays and select Sundays. Evening performances begin at 7:30 PM on Fridays Nov. 17 & 24, Dec. 1, 8 & 15 as well as Saturdays Nov. 25, & Dec. 9. Matinees at 2 PM on Saturdays Nov. 18, Dec. 2 & 16, and Sundays Nov. 26, Dec. 3, 10, & 17. Tickets are $21 with a $4 discount for students, seniors, and military. Advance reservations and early arrival are highly recommended, as sellouts are anticipated once again!
