Art by the Falls

Just a short drive outside Cleveland, Chagrin Falls hosts its 38th annual Art by the Falls from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. today and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow. While the pandemic caused a two-year pause in this flagship event, art lovers and festival goers can expect an impressive array of artists this year in addition to the mural project and other interactive activities, including a mural by Pam Spremulli, an artist who's widely known for her brightly colored murals. With her outline of Chagrin Falls expanding across five large canvases, Art by the Falls attendees can grab a brush and paint in sections to complete the mural, which will then reside permanently on display at Valley Art Center for all to enjoy. A Chagrin Falls resident and professional graphic illustrator, educator, and muralist, Pam recently won round two of public voting in the “Paint the District” mural competition in Cleveland. She was also selected as one of three Cleveland artists to paint six murals celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Cleveland Public Auditorium, and is an adjunct professor at Cleveland Institute of Art. valleyartcenter.org.
