2025 Live Art Contest

The gazebo came alive on July 17 during our East Falls Artistic Rendition Live Art Contest at Third Thursday: Art in the Square. In just 90 minutes, six local artists created stunning interpretations of Elyria’s East Falls.

Congratulations to Mya Cordova, winner of the 2025 East Falls Visionary Medal! Thanks to all participating artists—Tyler Sims, Wayne Chunat, Tanya Richards, Anne Jesse, and Camara Goodrich—for their creativity and spirit, and to moderators Deborah Krejsa and Candice Pettigrew for guiding the event.
