About Us
We contribute to the region’s artistic vitality by showing and selling artworks by regional artists at Heights Arts Gallery and Store, presenting chamber music and community concerts in intimate settings and public spaces, and are home to the Cleveland Heights Poet Laureate and our popular literary Ekphrastacy program.
As a multi-disciplinary arts organization, we tap into the potential of our creative residents to enrich
community life.

Our History
Heights Arts was founded on the premise that capitalizing on our community’s rich artistic resources could positively impact all aspects of community life: community-building, economic development, education, and public spaces. Residents and city officials quickly embraced Heights Arts as we began to tap into the creative spirit of our community. Although originally founded to support local artists, we have become a regional presence for the arts with one-third of our supporting members residing outside of our city.
