The Medina County Art League meets monthly from September through May, with the exception of December. Our monthly meetings bring to the members professional artists to meet and exchange ideas, to learn from each other, to build friendships and much more. We are growing and each year we add new and wonderful events to our schedule. Join us and become part of a growing organization that enjoys working together to help build a better community through art.
Members receive our monthly newsletter, "Drawing Attention", which keeps them up to date on what, where and when. Such as meeting dates, guest artists, activities, upcoming shows and what other members are doing.
Our largest event, which began in 1972, is Art In The
Park. Held annually the 3rd Sunday in July on the square
in the beautiful city of Medina. Art In The Park has
received "Best One Day Show In The Midwest"
rating for the past several years from "Art Fair",
(a source book for art fairs and shows all over the
U.S.). There are about 130 artists each year selling
their art and approximately $3500 in award monies. The
event also supports our scholarship fund with a raffle
of art work donated by the attending artists. The scholarships
are given to Medina County High School seniors at the
Medina County Schools Visual Arts Festival all Senior
Show held each year in May.
The Western Reserve Bank Show began in January 2000. This bimonthly show is a wonderful way to exhibit your artwork. We encourage both beginners and seasoned artists to participate.
