Dear Friends,

Holiday Store sales up, Walmart sales down. What does that say about our community ? You support the arts in your neighborhood, you treasure your neighbors who are artists, you have faith in what HeightsArts is doing to fulfill the potential of the arts to transform community life in the Heights and beyond. (See James Levin's vision for the arts in Cleveland in Sunday's PD)

If you are on our snail mail list, you recently received a request to contribute to our Annual Fund. As a nonprofit organization, HeightsArts is dependent upon foundation grants, fundraising events, and sales for our existence. But mostly we are dependent upon you and your individual contribution. Please take a moment and make a tax-deductible contribution to HeightsArts, either via credit card (click here) or send a check to HeightsArts, 2163 Lee Road #104, Cleveland Heights, Ohio 44118.

Whether you live in Cleveland Heights, University Heights, Shaker Heights, or no Heights; whether you shop at the Holiday Store; attend gallery exhibitions and free summer concerts; smile when you pass the imaginative fences on Coventry Road or murals at Cedar-Fairmount and Cedar-Lee; enthuse about the Poet Laureate project; enjoy the spring children's art show at City Hall; anticipate Sculpture in the Heights at Severance Town Center; or connect to the arts through this online newsletter, HeightsArts exists because of your support. Thank you. And Happy Holidaze.

Peggy Spaeth, Director
Sharon Grossman, President of the Board
