The Window Shop
|
So
many people came back to the Gallery after the Holiday Store closed
looking for jewelry, ceramics, and glass that we are continuing to
carry a selection of those media year round in a corner and window of
the gallery. Soon we will also add artist-made cards. Currently
in the Window Shop we are featuring the jewelry of Posch and Gulyas, Qandle Qadir, Grace Chin, and, for the first time, Grace Stokes, pictured below.
In the window of the Window Shop, you'll find glass goblets and vessels by Joshua Cole and Jon Nathaniel Cotterman, pictured right, part of the current show, the ever-popular Collector's Choice through April 12.
Gallery hours: Wednesday-Saturday 12-9 pm, closed Sunday-Tuesday
Speaking
of gallery hours, we depend upon volunteers to keep the gallery open!
You can offer your time regularly, such as the fifth Friday night of
the month (which only occurs 4 times this year!) or add your name to a
back-up list when volunteers cancel. We particularly need help
Wednesdays and Fridays 3-6, but any time you can give is much
appreciated. It's peaceful and energizing to sit in the gallery,
surrounded by the accumulated creative energy. Bring a friend,
play scrabble, and best of all get instant movie reviews from the
people who stop in after attending the Cedar Lee Theatre. Email Elisa at emeadows@heightsarts.org to volunteer.
Through April 5, visit Heights Arts Studio at 2340 Lee Road across the bridge from the Heights Library to see Let All God's People Say Amen, a community photography project created by photographer Helen Liggett in collaboration with Morning Star Baptist Church, Cleveland.
Studio hours: Sunday-Wednesday 1-5, closed Thurs-Saturday

A huge thank you to Ken Hadden of the Heights Garden Center. Monday we had a concert scheduled, Blown Away with Franklin Cohen,
in a home in Herrick Mews whose driveway had yet to be plowed.
Several people had said they would plow, but no one showed up.
One call to Ken, and the driveway was plowed within the hour, as a
donation to Heights Arts, and the concert went forward.
THANK YOU KEN!
A
huge thank you to Dennis and Kathy Coakley Barrie for hosting our
concert (at least they got their driveway plowed in return!) and Isabel
Trautwein for imagining.

The

knitted saplings next time you visit Heights Arts Studio.
